Monika Spruch -
is a model, singer and actress.
Monika Spruch is an internationally recognized soprano, fashion model, and performer with a dynamic career spanning opera, fashion, and film. Originally from Poland, Monika began her journey in the spotlight with several prestigious modeling awards, including “Model of the Year” and the “Mademoiselle Mannequin” Elite Club Award two years in a row. She was also honored with the Miss Photo award in the regional edition of Miss Polonia for her striking photogenic presence.
After relocating to Los Angeles, Monika continued her modeling career, walking the runway for top designers such as DKNY, David Cordona, David Rodriguez, Estevan Ramos, Daniel Cantu & Castillo, Elizabetha Rogiani, Eva Varro, and Ulrike Couture. Her print work includes campaigns for Lingerie Bowl, Rider Jeans, M. Millien for Fred Segal, Bio Ionic Haircare, San Diego Style Weddings, Electric Barbarella, Monte Carlo Leather, Oro King Jewelry, and Malibu Beach Beverage.
Alongside modeling, Monika pursued acting and vocal training. She studied at the Ivana Chubbuck Studio and TVI Actors Studio, and trained under Academy Award nominee Sally Kirkland. Her television and film credits include “Star Trek Enterprise,” “The Green Hornet,” “Fright Night,” “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,” “Will & Grace,” “Dexter,” “CSI: Miami,” “Monk,” “Miss Match,” and “Heart of Stone.”
Monika began her vocal training with renowned voice builder Gary Catona, known for his work with Whitney Houston, Shakira, Babyface, Seal, Lenny Kravitz, and Andrea Bocelli. She now studies with Robert Edwards, whose students include Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, and Michael McDonald.
In 2010, Monika released her first music video, “Radio,” and has since produced and recorded numerous original songs and videos. In 2019, she competed in the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) in San Francisco, where she was officially acknowledged by the judges—a significant recognition for a first-time competitor. That same year, she graduated from the prestigious Angels Vocal Art program in Los Angeles, where she performed in the final production with a selection from Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera The Mikado.
Though trained in opera, Monika brings a unique flair to multiple musical styles. She loves to perform not only classical arias but also pop-opera, Broadway hits, American standards, and contemporary pop. Her rich vocal tone and stage presence allow her to bridge genres effortlessly, captivating audiences with elegance, versatility, and heart.
In 2010, Monika combined her talents as an actress, model, producer, singer, and FIDM alumna to launch The Precious Foundation—a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to raising awareness and support for abused women and children. “I named it The Precious Foundation because I truly believe all of humanity is precious—especially our children,” she shared. Through this initiative, Monika continues to use her platform to give a voice to those who often go unheard.
Forever drawn to new challenges, Monika Spruch’s passion for car racing led her to train at the prestigious Skip Barber Racing School. Upon graduating, she was approached by Driver Club Management (DCM), a London-based motorsports management company known for representing high-profile clients, including Patrick Dempsey.
DCM offered to represent Monika and outlined a three-year development plan aimed at securing her entry into the Pro-Am class of the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans—the world’s most renowned endurance race in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). With this vision, Monika is set to make history as the first Polish woman to compete at Le Mans.
In addition to her artistic and racing pursuits, Monika holds an AA degree in Merchandising & Marketing from FIDM and is also an entrepreneur. She founded Naturalis USA, a distribution company that brings the celebrated Polish natural skincare line, Produkty Naturalne S.C., to the U.S. market.
An avid traveler with international experience, Monika has lived across Europe and the United States and now divides her time between Carmel and Los Angeles, California.
