Janelle Monae

“This week Gilles is joined by US R&B singer, Janelle Monae, who recently collaborated with Erykah Badu on the single QUEEN ahead of her hotly anticipated sophomore album, Electric Lady.
Having grown up in Kansas and studied in New York, it was a chance encounter with Outkast’s Big Boi in Atlanta, which proved key in her being discovered. Big Boi discussed her talents with Bad Boy Records boss, Sean Combs, who swiftly checked her out and signed her to his label. Her debut album, The ArchAndroid, which came out in 2010, earned her a Grammy nomination.”
