Life is made in the pivots. Monica joins WBT founder Tammy Cohen to talk turning points, personal evolution, and the moments that shaped her path.

Monica Johnson is a multi‑talented Ad pro, makeup artist, and self‑taught pianist who rediscovered her musical passion during the pandemic and now performs, records, and partners with the Scleroderma Foundation while encouraging others to follow their passions.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

A creative pivot born from chaos, stillness, and the unexpected power of piano.

Monica Johnson joins CanvasRebel to unpack how she found music and herself during the pandemic, turning chaos into calm through piano, releasing an album, and using her creative journey to inspire and give back.

From navigating loss and self-doubt to building a thriving makeup business and discovering piano in the middle of a global pause, Monica’s journey is about turning chaos into creative power. This isn’t a highlight reel, it’s resilience, pivots, and choosing yourself again and again.

An artist at heart and creative leader by trade, Monica sits down with AdWeek’s Kyle O’Brien talking about turning intention into impact across mediums that move people.
