About Monday Michiru
Born Michiru Monday Akiyoshi Mariano August 19, 1963 in Tokyo (Japan), a.k.a Monday Michiru,  is a Japanese American actress, singer, and songwriter whose music encompasses and fuses a wide variety of genres including jazz, dance, pop, and soul. She is arguably best known for being a pioneer of the acid jazz movement in Japan in the early 1990s yet she has created her own unique style of music that transcends traditional definitions of the aforementioned genres.

At an early age, she expressed an interest in music; she studied modern dance and ballet from age eight, and the classical flute for eight years. It was not until she went to the Interlochen Arts Academy that she discovered her true passion of singing.
In 1991, she re-focused her interests and released her debut solo album Mangetsu. Although she continued her solo work, she became a featured singer/songwriter for many other groups and artists including Basement Jaxx(Always Be There), Mondo Grosso, DJ Krush, M-Flo and numerous others.
Since her debut, she has released numerous albums on an annual basis, including many compilations and remix projects, and numerous singles.
