Moneta has always had passion for music, driven by her parent's eclectic music collection and their encouragement to learn music. At 11 she learned to play the saxophone and started exploring the local records shops shortly thereafter. Her inspiration behind the decks comes from classic electronic acts like Depeche Mode, New Order, and Acid House acts like 808 State and S'Express. DJ/Producer influences range from Sasha, John Digweed, Jeff Mills, Markus Schulz, Jody Wisernoff, Gareth Emery, Nick Warren, Sander van Doorn, and of course Armin van Buuren.
Moneta has lived in San Francisco, Dallas, and even Barcelona before moving from Los Angeles to New York City. Shortly thereafter she began working in the New York City electronic music scene, observing the DJs, the crowd, and the promoters, gaining the knowledge and experience to take to the decks and start spinning music and throwing awesome parties herself.
Using her experience and passions, Moneta aims to give people a unique musical journey while still keeping true to her love of Trance and Progressive.
