He has been bassist for The Cat Empire since its inception and also plays in jazz trio "The Genie", which includes fellow Cat Empire members, Ollie McGill on keyboards and Will Hull Brown on drums.

Monro originally started playing guitar in grade 9 at Frankston High School but soon moved to electric bass.
