From freedom-fighting robot to freed woman
After growing up in Kansas City, dreaming of becoming a performer, Janelle Monae took the leap and moved to New York City to study music and acting. She relocated to Atlanta and joined the artist movement there, starting the Wondaland Arts Society. OutKast's Big Boi recognized her potential and told Sean Combs to listen to her. Combs was entranced and signed Monae to Bad Boy Records in 2006. Her first EP with the label, Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition), earned her a Grammy nomination. In 2010 she released The ArchAndroid, a concept album that delved into a futuristic world of androids, like her alter-ego Cindi Mayweather, and their role as "others." Her second album, The Electric Lady, was a warm fusion of everything from jazz to gospel, featuring artists like Prince, Solange Knowles, and Erykah Badu. She ventured into acting, taking leading roles in Hidden Figures and Moonlight. In 2018 she released her third studio album, Dirty Computer, which ignited the music industry with its sultry sounds and fierce voice.
As she steps away from the android persona that she carried in her early years, Janelle Monae concerts still sizzle with the power of her unparalleled voice. Experience one of music's most fascinating funk artists for yourself by getting your cheap Janelle Monae tickets today!
