• Whitney Mongé EPK •

Whitney Mongé is a Nashville-based Americana Soul singer-songwriter and guitarist whose smoky, soulful vocals and poignant lyrics reflect a journey rooted in raw authenticity. Raised in the Pacific Northwest, she honed her craft as a street performer in Seattle, where her powerful voice and heartfelt storytelling forged deep connections with audiences. Her signature style—an evocative blend of blues, rock, and indie folk—draws comparisons to artists like Tracy Chapman, Richie Havens, and Brittany Howard.

A dedicated performer, Mongé has toured internationally, released four independent records, and collaborated with the Seattle Symphony. She was featured in the award-winning Find Your Way: A Busker’s Documentary, performed with Black Opry at the 2023 Newport Folk Festival, and won the 2025 Cayamo Soundcheck Contest. Now based in Nashville, she’s currently touring across the U.S. while writing and recording her debut full-length album, expected in 2026.

In 2024, Mongé released the single What Would Love Do Now, a soulful reflection on compassion and change. That same spirit of growth continues to guide her path as she shares her music with new audiences across the country.

PRESS QUOTES

"The Nineties folk-rock-inflected songs...[Whitney Mongé] is ready for bigger stages". -Rolling Stone (2023)

"It seems like a super power to be able to carry around an old acoustic to any city, sit on a stoop, stool or sidewalk and start singing like divinity simply pours from your lips. Whitney Mongé has that super power. Her voice rattles like the wooden hull of a ship and soars like the wind in its sails. Mongé, a versatile singer capable of singing about the lonesomeness of loss or the light-hearted lift of a lit joint, came to the Emerald City from Spokane and has made a home in the area, cushioned by her prolific voice". --American Songwriter (2020)

"Whitney Mongé — a former busker who started with seven cover songs and a lot of guts, a woman who writes emotional songs for people who listen to the words, a role model for young brown girls who want to play music, a super smart college dropout, an avid gardener in her neighborhood P-Patch, a weed-smoking collector of vinyl records, a better pool player than you — might just be Seattle’s next big star". --The Seattle Times (2018)
