Read further as we had the chance to do an exclusive interview with the fabulous Monet Bagneris!
A Unique Creation: From Writing to Production
Monet Bagneris wrote Can’t Wait for Santa herself, pouring her creativity and passion into every part of the song. Beyond just writing the lyrics, she also served as the executive producer through her company, Brand New Day Enterprises LLC. The track features a talented ensemble of musicians: Brendan Bennett on bass and synthesizer, Jeremy Jenkins on drums, Justin Klunk on saxophone, Cedric Lily on keyboards, and Cody Breyer on guitar, with Bagneris herself contributing both vocals and piano. The result is a full-bodied, rich sound that brings her vision to life.
The song’s recording process was equally high caliber. Jeremy Underwood, who has a great experience as the former chief engineer at Firehouse Recording Studios in Pasadena, engineered the track alongside Alex Schindler and Miles Madigan. Mixing and mastering were handled by Kofi Owusu-Ofori, a renowned engineer and producer from Los Angeles, ensuring that every element of the song was polished to perfection.
Passionate Inspiration Behind the Music
When asked about the driving force behind her music, Monet Bagneris shared, “I’m driven by my love for people and their stories. Listening to their backgrounds and life experiences inspires me to write from a place of truth, tapping into the real emotions we all share. My goal is to help people feel seen and heard in their emotional journeys. Earlier this year, I went through a period where I couldn’t use my voice, and it deeply shifted my perspective. I now understand my voice as a gift, one that I don’t take for granted. That experience renewed my commitment to sing more, write more, and release more music. There’s a lot more coming in the New Year.”

I’m committed to honest storytelling—emotionally and musically—while honoring the experiences of the people I’m inspired by.”
She continued, “I value connection over perfection, vulnerability over performance, and intention over trend. Staying grounded in those values allows me to create music that feels real and meaningful, both to me and to the listener.”
