The Bridges For Music IMS Ibiza Charity Cycle returns in 2026, and among those taking part this year are Miss Monique, alongside former professional cyclist Taylor Phinney and five-time Cyclo-cross World Champion and Grand Tour stage winner Zdenek Stybar. Štybar was crowned Elite Men’s Cyclo-cross World Champion three times (2010, 2011 and 2014), having already secured two U-23 World Championship titles in 2005 and 2006, cementing his place among the sport’s most accomplished riders.
Together, they represent a convergence of music, sport, wellness and social impact united by a belief in showing up for others.
Miss Monique's rise as a Ukrainian DJ, producer, and label owner has been shaped by a clear sense of purpose. Now based in Lisbon after being forced to leave her homeland, she has used her
platform to promote unity, resilience and wellbeing, showing how music can be a source of strength in uncertain times. Riding the IMS Ibiza Charity Cycle reflects those same values, a personal
challenge taken on in the service of creating opportunity for others.
Miss Monique: “Having the opportunity to be a part of the Bridges for Music bike ride in Ibiza fills my heart with the same electric energy I feel behind the decks: it’s pure
connection and movement in motion. Riding to support Bridges for Music is more than a fundraiser; it’s a powerful reminder that when we unite our passion, we can build real bridges and create
opportunities that change lives through music.”
Taking place during the International Music Summit 2026, the Ibiza Cycle brings together artists, industry leaders, athletes and changemakers to raise funds for music education and personal
development for young people growing up in under-resourced South African communities. The funds raised directly support Bridges for Music’s scholarship programmes and education pathways, helping
young underprivileged creatives access not only technical training, but the confidence and communication skills needed to thrive beyond the studio.
This year, participants will cycle across Ibiza alongside a mix of artists and athletes. Riders can expect fully supported scenic routes, professional ride leaders and mechanics, a welcoming international community, exclusive rider gear, access to IMS Ibiza and the Dalt Vila closing celebration and a finish-line wellness and recovery experience.
