Aja Monet is a contemporary American poet, writer, and lyricist known for her work at the intersection of spoken word performance and social activism.
Born in the United States, Aja Monet Bacquie has established herself as a prominent voice in contemporary poetry and performance art. She gained recognition for her ability to blend lyrical composition with rhythmic delivery, often focusing on themes of identity, social justice, and the human experience.
Her practice primarily centers on the spoken word, utilizing the cadence of language as a medium to engage with audiences in both literary and live performance settings. She frequently collaborates with musicians and artists to integrate her poetry into broader sonic and visual landscapes.
Monet continues to be recognized for her contributions to the arts, including her inclusion in major institutional programming. Most recently, she was selected to perform as part of the 2026 'Off the 405' concert series at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
