Early life


Monheit was born and raised in Oakdale, New York, on Long Island.[1] Her father played banjo and guitar.[2] Her mother sang and played music for her by singers who could also be her teachers, beginning with Ella Fitzgerald.[2] At an early age Monheit was drawn to jazz and Broadway musicals.[2]

She began singing professionally while attending Connetquot High School in Bohemia, New York.[1] She attended the Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts.[3] At the Manhattan School of Music she studied voice under Peter Eldridge; she graduated in 1999.[1]

She was runner-up to Teri Thornton in the 1998 vocal competition at the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, in Washington, DC.[1]


Career


When she was 22, she released her first album, Never Never Land (N-Coded, 2000).[2] Like Fitzgerald, she recorded many songs from the Great American Songbook.[2] After recording for five labels, she started her own, Emerald City Records.[2] Its first release was The Songbook Sessions (2016), an homage to Fitzgerald.[2][4]

Monheit's vocals were featured in the 2010 film Never Let Me Go for the titular song, written by Luther Dixon, and credited to the fictional Judy Bridgewater.[5]
