Dywane Eric Thomas Jr., professionally known as MONONEON, is known for his presence on YouTube playing bass guitar and being one of the last people to work with PRINCE. MONONEON is a Grammy Award-winning artist, for his participation on the 2020 NAS album «King’s Disease». FLEA of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS has referred to MONO as “the greatest fucking electric bass player”. On November 1, 2022, Fender released the MONONEON Collection, which included the MonoNeon Jazz Bass V Signature.

MONONEON‘s overall playing style on bass can be described as «funky with unusual characteristics». His sound is combination of bold use of dissonance and unpredictable phrasing. MARCUS MILLER, among others, has praised his unique playing style. His musical background is heavily influenced by Southern soul, blues and funk. MONONEON has collaborated with artists such as MAVIS STAPLES, GEORGE CLINTON, PETE ROCK, NE-YO, MAC MILLER, GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW, GHOST-NOTE, and more.
