I'm currently playing a 3rd level wizard(bladesinger) with very good rolls for Intel and dex 17/18 was curious with mage armor blade song my ac hit around 20 if I were to take a dip into monk next level would unarmored defense stack with the bluffs I already have
You only ever use 1 armor calculation. So you either use Mage Armor (13 + Dexterity mod), or the monks Unarmored defense ( 10 + Dexterity mod + Wisdom mod)
Bladesong, however, gives you a bonus to either equal to your intelligence modifier. So Mage Armor would be (13+ Dexterity mod + Intelligence mod) and Unarmored Defense (10+ Dexterity mod + Wisdom mod + Intelligence mod)
So unless you have a +4 in Wisdom (score of 18 or higher), using Mage Armor is superior to adding a level in Monk :)
