Novelist Barry Eisler states, "Swedish vocalist I first heard in Bar Satoh in Osaka, the worlds best whiskey bar. Slowfox is a collection of songs in English, all rendered in Borrfor's warm, slightly husky, beautiful voice."

Monica was born May 14, 1954 in Brännkyrka Assembly, Stockholm. She came as number two in a family of five. Sister Elisabeth was then three years old. The family had just moved out from Wollmar Yxkullsgatan in Stockholm to the newly built south suburb Högdalen where they lived between 1954 and 1959, and where even the little brother Peter was born in 1955. My father was self-employed and the mother a housewife.

In high school, she had music as an optional subject and her teachers during the last two years was Gosta Nilsson. Monica was interested in singing and was for 20 years a member of Gosta Nilsson's youth choir and later the Chamber of Trångsunds and Skogås parish where he was organist and choirmaster in 1966.

Monica trained in health care with a view on a midwife and worked in the maternity care at Danderyd Hospital between 1973-1983.

Monica has worked alongside his quintet and as a soloist in many other contexts. With big bands in both Sweden and abroad, with choirs and small groups.
