Monique Smit, 37, works hard, cleans window sills daily, and eats her steak with half a pack of butter. As a folk artist, she is in the busiest period of her life, performing around forty shows a month during summer festivals and fairs, alongside clips and meetings. [1]

She lives her dream, having started singing 18 years ago and approaching her 20-year anniversary. Her life includes a large family with three children, Noah, Luca, and Lovi, and partner Martijn. Her parents guided her career; her father was a fisherman and shrimp factory worker, her mother worked at Bart Smit's register. Her older sister Jenny looked after her when her brother became successful. [1]

Stress affects her voice, causing cracks. When her mother fell seriously ill, the stress and sadness impacted her vocal cords. She notes that everyone has a weak spot, and hers is her voice. [1]

Success requires hard work, a lesson ingrained in Volendam from a young age. Even at 30 weeks pregnant, she took her partner Martijn to New York as a surprise. Hard work paid off with millions of streams and recently buying an apartment in southern Spain, near the beach. [1]

She often looks younger than 37, thanks mostly to baby botox on her forehead and naturally full cheeks. She posts stories from shows late at night. After encountering a negative comment on social media, she replied by pasting the accuser's words under their own photo, though her partner thinks it unnecessary. [1]

In Volendam, people take care of their surroundings, even vacuuming the sidewalk. [1]

After her third child, nine extra kilograms remained. She spent six months dieting and training to feel better in her skin without using Ozempic. She now wears crop tops and still eats butter with her meals. She studied hairdressing but always intended to sing. [1]

Her favorite clothing is jeans from brands like Alix The Label and Shoeby. She keeps Chanel and Louis Vuitton bags for her daughter. Her style is flashy accessories and multiple ear piercings. [1]

Monique Smit (born April 9, 1989, in Volendam) is a singer and presenter. She attended a hairdressing course in Volendam. She partners with Martijn, and they have three children. She lives in Volendam and maintains an Instagram presence. [1]
