Monte Booker is an American record producer from Chicago, Illinois, born in 1995. He rose to prominence as a member of the Zero Fatigue collective alongside Smino and Bari, and as part of the Soulection family, a Los Angeles based network known for blending R&B, hip-hop, and electronic music. His production style is distinctive for its warped, pitch-bent vocal samples, glitchy percussion, and a jazzy, off-kilter sense of groove that sets him apart from more conventional trap or boom-bap producers.

Booker built his reputation crafting beats for Smino, most notably on the album blkswn, and has worked with artists across the R&B and rap spectrum. Tracks like «Kolors», «Mona Lisa», and «KOMPANY» showcase his signature blend of woozy synths and syncopated drums, while his instrumental work such as «Interstellar» and «marbles» highlights his ear for melodic texture even without vocals.

As both a producer and solo artist, Monte Booker occupies a singular space in the modern R&B and hip-hop underground, influencing a generation of producers drawn to his hazy, kaleidoscopic sound. His association with Soulection helped bring his music to a global audience that values genre-blending, beat-driven artistry over conventional song structures.
