Stony Sugarskull is the sonic project of Berlin-based, pioneering singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist Dr (PhD) Monika Demmler. With her innovative style, her unique voice that calls to mind the music of Mazzy Star or Nico, coupled with her boundless creativity, she transcends borders by blending punk, shoe gaze, electronica and psych in a very unique and captivating way - her second album “Princess” to be released in 2022.

The most distinctive thing about Monika Demmler is her unique vocal style and transcendent delivery: a collage of dreamy, playful, innocent, ironic, clever, earnest, at times even spiritual psychedelia. Her artsy sound blends shades of the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Marianne Faithful and Mazzy Star into its own new best. The music also functions in part to expand on aspects of her doctoral research in metaphysics and music philosophy: she has been credited as the first who combines  the power of sound frequencies with rock ’n’ roll music (Louder than War). Currently, Stony Sugarskull is finishing her second album “Princess” (funded by Initiative Musik) with Kristian Bell (The Wytches, UK). In 2020, her debut album “Lioness” (funded by Initiative Musik and Musicboard Berlin) was released on her label Sugarskull Records, mirroring the socio-political downfall in the 21st century. She has also received scholarships by Gema, GVL and Musikfonds Germany.
