Miss Monique, stage name of Olesia Arkusha (Олеся Аркуша in Cyrillic alphabet), born 1992, is a Ukrainian DJ and producer. She became known in the electronic music world due to the creation of the YouTube channels called "Mind Games" and "MiMo Weekly", but also due to releases on labels such as Black Hole Recordings or Bonzai Progressive.

Originally from Ukraine, she found her vocation at the beginning of the 2010s. Based in Kyiv, Miss Monique gradually made a name for herself and became one of the most recognised DJs in Eastern Europe. Miss Monique is also considered the most recognised female progressive house artist in Europe. Miss Monique is one of the 20 most popular Ukrainian pop stars. and her hit Way of the Wind was ranked the 14th best progressive house song of the year 2021. Some of her videos posted on YouTube routinely reach over 1 million views, with one having over 20 million views.

24 February 2022, Miss Monique and her family spent the first two weeks sleeping in cars on the streets of Kyiv, then had to flee to Vinnytsia in early March, and a few days later out of the country.  She described the Russian attack on her country as 'hell', and 'the hardest experience of my life'. 

After two months, Miss Monique returned to Kyiv as she felt bringing joy to people with her music was the best way to help her country; although her music did not change, she and her label Siona Records stopped supporting and working with Russian artists (who, to her surprise, seemed to carry on with business as usual as if the war did not exist). On 24 August 2022, Miss Monique and other Ukrainian DJs performed a fundraising rave concert in Vilnius, Lithuania to mark the Independence Day of Ukraine. Miss Monique said: 'This event in Vilnius will help not just to collect money for Ukrainians but remind the world that the war is not over. People are still dying and we must to do something together and stop Russia's terrorism.' Afterwards she stated that pro-Ukrainian support in Lithuania had been "amazing", with many people not just donating for humanitarian aid, but waving flags and wearing national dresses of Ukraine.
