Monica Anghel (Romanian pronunciation: [moˈnika ˈaŋɡel]; born 1 June 1971 in Bucharest), is a Romanian singer and TV star. In 1996, she took part in the international preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest. The Romanian song "Rugă pentru pacea lumii" was not chosen to go to the international final in Oslo. In the same year, she won the "Golden Stag" for Romania.[1]

Anghel participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 in Tallinn, with Marcel Pavel.[2][3] Their song "Tell me why" reached the 9th place, which was the third best score ever for Romania. A few years later Anghel started to collaborate with comic group Divertis.

In 2003 and 2017, Walt Disney Pictures choose the Romanian pop- star to provides the Romanian voice of one of the muses from the animated movie Hercules.[4][5]
