description: "Monica Denise Arnold, best known mononymously as Monica, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Born and raised in College Park, Georgia, she began performing as a child and joined a traveling gospel choir by the age of ten. Monica signed with record producer Dallas Austin's label Rowdy Records in 1993, and gained prominence following the release of her debut studio album, Miss Thang (1995). Her follow-up albums were met with continued success; her second, The Boy Is Mine  (1998) remains her best-selling album and spawned three Billboard Hot 100-number one singles: \"The Boy Is Mine\", \"The First Night \" and \"Angel of Mine\"."
