Biography of Monica Electronica
Monica Electronica aka Emma Elisabet Baas was born on the 29th of march 1978 in Delft, the Netherlands. Coming from a musical family, both sister and step-father were drummers, at home everything was about music.
When Emma was 18 years old, she moved to Rotterdam to live and to study at the school of Arts, and gratuated as an art-director in Advertising in 2000.
During her study she bought 2 old recordplayers, (one without pitch) borrowed a mixer from a friend and threw parties at home. That’s where her passion for music and dj-ing grew stronger.
After her study she travelled around the world to dance, she was a part of ‘Aquarella do Brasil’ a brazillian samba showballet from Rotterdam. After one year of dancing she started working for a filmproduction company. For two years she free-lanced as an assistant producer and assistant director.
Only from ’02 she became more active as a dj. Every month in Club Stalker in Haarlem Monica Electronica and Estelle Decibel played as a dj duo by the name: ‘De Nachtzusters’ (‘The Nightnurses’)
In the summer of ’03, Monica Electronica and two of her friends (one of them Dj Josz Lebon) felt it was time for a residency, so they created a place of there own.. A new bar was born on the roof of the Van Nelle factory in Rotterdam and called it: Bar Tabac. They set the tone with a not often heard sound in the region: ElectroItaloDiscoNewbeatRock..
