Monice - 2008-2009: I'm Gonna Make IT

2008-2009: I'm Gonna Make It

Following Deutschland sucht den Superstar, Monice did not sign a contract with a record label, citing a desire to express herself musically without being bound by the commercial constraints of her home market. Instead, she recorded a few songs and released them on her official YouTube channel. Later in 2008 she came out with the album "I'm Gonna Make It", available for sale only through the Internet. Some of the songs were performed on Bosnian and Austrian TV but none of them garnered a following. The songs "I'm Gonna Make It" and "Only the Good Die Young" were also offered as remixes.

The album I'm Gonna Make Itwas not the hoped-for success. Because of low sales Monice first took a break and was still only looking at small events. End of 2008, it has the song "We'll Be Together (Christmas carol)" and was brought out in some of Austria's to watch TV shows. Monice began changing her image at the end of 2008, attempting a shift from ballad singer to pop star, and looking to draw attention by dyeing her hair black and losing some weight.
