Janelle Monae |
"One of 'em had to do with the high level of violence and use of drugs around me," said Janelle Monae. She left Kansas City, Kansas and moved to New York and studied musical theatre at the American Musical and Dramatics Academy. After getting a taste of the Broadway scene, Monae needed something new and fresh to begin her journey as an artist. So, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
Currently, residing in Atlanta, Georgia Janelle Monae is a singer, performer, trend setter, and role model. Monae began her start as an artist by performing many of her shows at the Atlanta University Center, where she had the ability to reach out to the colleges students, by inspiring them to follow their dreams. While also receiving a response from them basic to her style and as well as her music. She does her best to encourage the young college students to pursue their talents.
What inspires Janelle Monae? Her inspiration comes from the environment which surrounds her. The world has several issues that affect and relate to people on a personal playing field. Since this in many times is the case it motivates her to write new material that later become songs. She feels as though she has a responsibility to be an example for her community and other young girls.
A hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. A celebrity is a famous or well-known person. Both of these terms have totally different definitions. A hero is a leader that has amazing characteristics while a celebrity lives for the spotlight. After defining these terms and reviewing the accomplishments of Janelle Monae, I can classify her as a hero. Janelle Monae's work and character shine through her personality and music.
Janelle Monae escaped from the violence and drugged environment she knew, only to pursue her dreams and develop her gift and special talent. Recently, she released her one solo album entitled Metropolis. She continues to perform and inspire as many people as she can through her music. She will always be the beautiful and talented Janelle Monae and my hero.
