Miss Monique returns to Ukraine for the first time since 2022, delivering an emotional performance that highlights her roots, global success, and ongoing commitment to Ukrainian electronic music.
An Emotional Homecoming for Ukraine’s Techno Icon
Miss Monique—one of the most celebrated names in progressive house and melodic techno—has finally returned to her homeland after three long years abroad. Forced to leave Ukraine due to the Russian invasion in 2022, she has since become a global force in electronic music. But last week, something shifted. She played a powerful set in Kyiv, marking a moment not only of music but of healing.
“Every Smile Felt Like a Hug”
In a deeply emotional message to her fans, Miss Monique reflected on her long-awaited return. “Three years without my favorite streets, my loved ones, my home,” she wrote. The performance in Kyiv wasn’t just another gig—it was a release of memories, tension, and unspoken love.
“From the first track, my heart trembled—not from fear, but from happiness,” she said.
Her voice resonated with gratitude. She thanked the Ukrainian crowd for their warmth, resilience, and the unmistakable sense that she had been missed. Every cheer felt like closure. Every beat, a reconnection.
A Global Star with Local Pride
Since 2022, Miss Monique has built an impressive international career. Releases like “Concorde” and “Subterranean” received acclaim from dancefloors in Berlin, London, and Tulum. Her label, Siona Records, became a platform for Ukrainian talent even as the war raged on.
She didn’t just tour. She represented. On every stage, Miss Monique carried Ukraine with her—in her visuals, her interviews, her music.
The Ibiza Milestone
2025 marks another turning point: Miss Monique has secured a summer residency at Hï Ibiza, one of the most prestigious club residencies in the world. It’s a symbol of her rise from national star to global powerhouse. Yet, her homecoming shows something deeper—success hasn’t erased her roots.
Ukraine remains her soul. The energy of home lives in her sound. And now, the journey has come full circle.
What Her Return Means for Techno
Her Kyiv set reminded the global music scene that techno is more than a sound—it’s a story. It’s political. It’s emotional. It’s human. And artists like Miss Monique prove that even under pressure, music endures.
As war continues to reshape lives, her return sends a message: resilience dances too. Behind every drop is defiance. Behind every kick drum, hope.
