Monique Zhang - JAZZ & STRIDE PIANIST • VINTAGE JAZZ COMPOSER • time traveler • founder of Monique & the stride caravan

A classically trained, multi-genre pianist and vintage jazz composer specializing in stride piano, Jazz and Swing era performance.

Monique was introduced early to classic jazz through vintage animation, Golden Age Hollywood films and dances as a kid. She discovered jazz more deeply and soon found her passion in stride piano during teenage years. Entirely self-taught by ears in stride style, Monique began composing original vintage-inspired music during her undergraduate studies at Berklee College of Music, developing a sound that blends authenticity, playfulness with some jazz ideas and making the sound personal as “the Monique way".

Blues, vintage funk and vintage R&B are additional influences in Monique's improvisations.

Born in the 2000s, Monique carries a strong vintage spirit as a modernist artist. Her idiosyncratic musical identity and dedication to early jazz have made her stand out as the only pianist at Longy School of Music specializing in vintage jazz within the college's history.

Besides piano. Monique is a trumpeter, vintage stylist, artist, and dancer. Creative identities that continue to shape her music and stage presence.

Monique is also a current swing-era pianist with Beantown Swing Orchestra , leads The Moniko Stride Duo (discontinued) and a brand new open jazz band collaboration "Monique & The Stride Caravan".
