Janelle Monáe Robinson, known professionally as Janelle Monáe, is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer, actress, and model. Born on December 1, 1985 in UsefulNotes/KansasCity, Kansas, as a child, she had always dreamed of being a performer on the stage. She left Kansas for New York to study theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. At first, Monáe aimed to become a performer on Broadway, but she changed her mind and went to music instead, feeling that music has the power to change the world. Later on, Monáe moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she met Big Boi from Music/{{Outkast}} and founded the Wondaland Arts Society. Big Boi introduced Monáe to [[Music/SeanCombs Sean "P Diddy" Combs]] which led her to be signed to Creator/BadBoyRecords in 2006, and she later moved to Creator/EpicRecords in 2015 forming her own label, Wondaland Records, which has since signed a number of other artists.

About a dozen different genres are major influences on her work, and there's no telling which will dominate a particular track on an album without listening to it (or at least reading commentary on it).

* RagsToRiches: This is noteworthy as Janelle Monáe makes a point to use this part of her story to inspire both her fans and her aesthetic: her mother was a janitor, her father was a garbage truck driver who struggled with drug addiction, and to go to Conservatory she spent time working with her mother. While producing ''The Audition'', she was working at Office Depot, and incidentally, got fired for messaging fans on store computers.
