Actively involved in musical theatre, Monique has performed the roles of “Scrooge’s Mother” in A Christmas Carol (Footlight), “Mrs. Greer” in Annie (TUTS) and the iconic role of “Marmee” in the 2017 production of Little Women (Bring on Tomorrow Co/Kay Meek Arts Centre). She has also been Musical Director for many productions including Fame and 13 The Musical (Bring on Tomorrow); and The Wizard of Oz, Grease, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and The Sound of Music (Footlight).

 

Originally hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Monique was the oldest of four children. From a very early age, she took a keen interest in the performing arts and by the time she was in high school, she was singing and playing keyboards in professional bands, writing songs, competing

in festivals, performing in musicals, teaching organ & keyboard lessons as well as selling instruments & accessories for Yamaha Music Centre, followed by Major & Minor Music. After graduating from Westwood Collegiate, Monique pursued a dual career as a singer and as a music educator, specializing in keyboard training for young children. By the time she was in her early 20s, Monique was an entrepreneur who owned and managed Music Place, a successful music school/store with two locations, 700 students and a large staff. No stranger to hard work and long hours, she simultaneously worked for Technics Music Canada for over a decade, developing curriculum and music books, running festivals, administering exams and training teachers from around the world.

 

In the early 90s, Monique sold Music Place and moved to Vancouver where she continued to work as a singer and a music educator along with studying jazz vocals at Capilano College. She married Grammy-nominated pianist/composer Michael Creber and together they launched their multi-faceted entertainment company, Creber Music Corp / Creber Productions. In addition to the many services still offered by Creber Music, Monique conducts the Cypress Singers Choir and has taught performing arts programs for several independent schools on the North Shore including Mulgrave School, Alcuin College and Brockton Preparatory School.

 

In 1999, daughter Michelle was born and before too long, Michelle was inspired to join her parents on stage and in the studio. By the age of 12, Michelle had a busy career as an actress, voiceover artist, and singer-songwriter. Monique re-directed much of her focus to supporting and managing her young daughter’s career; a job which has included over 40 trips (across North America, Europe, Australia and Asia), for appearances, concerts and recording sessions. Monique has now produced a total of six albums for Michelle; the latest is a collection of Michelle’s original songs, entitled On Display, which has sold and streamed in 65 countries on six continents, earning Michelle placement on the US Top 100 Billboard charts. Building on the management experience gained, Monique has since taken on other clients and formed NMC Artist Management; guiding the careers of unique, principled and multi-faceted performing artists who inspire and encourage through positive messages and exceptional talent.
