Happy Birthday: Janelle Monáe

Janelle Monáe

Born: December 1, 1985 in Kansas City, Kansas, USA

I’ve always wanted people to ask questions about the music. Some songs you get. Some songs you may not. And I think that’s the beauty of art: to question and to ask, to understand the deeper meaning after two or three or four listenings. I appreciate that as a writer because sometimes the mystery, when it’s gone, is not as interesting. I love the mystery behind things.

I feel myself becoming the fearless person I have dreamt of being. Have I arrived? No. But I’m constantly evolving and challenging myself to be unafraid to make mistakes.

[observation, 2014] I’d be honored to experiment more with holograms and maybe make a whole band – but I love my band. I wouldn’t want them to be holograms.
