Monáe Janelle biography

Janelle Monáe was born in Kansas City, Kansas, on December 1st, and grew up in the working-class neighbourhood of Quindaro.

When Monáe was a little child, her parents divorced, and her mother eventually wed a postal worker. Kimmy, Monáe’s younger sister, is the result of her mother’s second marriage.

Monáe was brought up as a Baptist and picked up singing at a nearby church. Her family members played music and performed in the Baptist church, the Church of God in Christ, and the African Methodist Episcopal church nearby.

From an early age, Monáe had aspirations of becoming a performer and singer; she has named Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz as a musical inspiration. Another inspiration came from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which Monáe purchased twice with her first check. On Juneteenth talent shows, she sang songs from the album and won three times in a row.

Monáe self-released The Audition, a demo album, in 2003 and sold it out of the trunk of a Mitsubishi Galant. She was dismissed from her job at an Office Depot during this time for responding to a fan’s email on a work computer; this incident served as the basis for the song “Lettin’ Go,” which in turn caught Big Boi’s notice.
