Janelle Monae, a singer who fuses R&B, funk and soul and is often spotted wearing a tuxedo, is undoubtedly on the rise. Last year, Monae, 28, performed two tracks on Saturday Night Live on Oct. 26. She began with “Dance Apocalyptic,” and finished by performing her new album’s title track, “Electric Lady.” In 2013, Monae was awarded the Rising Star Award by Billboard.
Monae, who has played fundraisers for President Obama and performed at the President’s second inauguration, recently headlined the Atlanta’s annual New Year’s Peach Drop celebrating M&M’s Year of the Peanut. “I love the Obamas and anytime they call me, I’m there,” Monae told uInterview exclusively.
