Music Monday on Empty Streets: Moony

Whenever I feel a bit down or depressed there are just some songs and vocalists that can pick you right up and feel good about yourself. Moony is one of those singers that has that effect on me and apparently continues to do so even till now.

Monica Bragato aka Moony is a musician from Italy known for the many dance tracks coming from her debut album Lifestories. Among the notable singles from the album are "Dove (I'll Be Loving You)", "Acrobats", and "This Is Your Life".

Raised in Venice, Moony was first noticed singing in the Venetian club scene and was asked to provide vocals for a number of songs by DJ and producer Cristiano Spiller. The first single was "Positive", in 1998, sampled from the "Physical", song of Olivia Newton-John, and the second single with Spiller was "Batucada" (1999). She also features in the project Angel Moon in the song "He's All I Want", released in 1998. Her first collaboration was "Point of View" as part of the group DB Boulevard. That song became popular across the European dance music scene and earned DB Boulevard the distinction of being the first Italian music group to be nominated in the MTV Europe Music Awards. From there on, she launched her solo career by producing her debut album Lifestories, which was released in 2003.

In June 2006, Moony released a new single titled "For Your Love".

In July 2008, Moony released a new single titled "I Don't Know Why".

Here is her single Flying away - The music video touched my heart :)
