If you thought rocking stages across North America aboard the ‘Jaguar II Tour’ was going to keep Victoria Monet from also pounding the promo pavement in support of the project, think again.

When not showing off fancy footwork in venues across the continent, the booked and busy mom-of-one has been expanding her digital footprint thanks to high-profile features in ‘Rolling Stone’ and ‘Essence’ magazines.

See excerpts from her latest jaw-dropping photo shoots inside.

Capitalizing on the momentum afforded by her breakthrough single ‘On My Mama,’ the rising starlet took to ‘Essence’ to dish on everything from getting her first big break to working with Diddy, Pop star Ariana Grande, the late, great songwriter LaShawn Daniels, and more.

When not chronicling her journey to stardom the 34-year-old was plotting her bright future – even eyeing creating a natural skincare, beauty line, and hair care products.

And while the plan to expand her brand is looming, she’s still got her sights set on entertainment including writing for TV and film, writing scores for big and small screen ventures, and even creating her own visual album.

Elsewhere, Monet was also spotted dishing on her critically acclaimed last LP, ‘Jaguar II,’ with fellow singer-songwriter Kelly Rowland.

Featured in ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine’s ‘Musicians on Musicians‘ segment, the two spoke candidly about the challenges of songwriting, balancing motherhood with the demands of celebrity, admirning each other’s albums, and so much more.

An insightful chat, look below to see a standout portion of the convo where the ladies discussed the chance they may be distant relatives.
