About Janelle Mon√°e:

Nominated in 2008 for the GRAMMY Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance, Janelle Mon√°e has sometimes been called a "21st Century musical phenomenon." Earning widespread raves for her inventive style, her debut album The ArchAndroid came out in May and follows two highly acclaimed EPs. The album's first single, "Tightrope," has been praised as one of 2010's finest singles, with Billboard raving: "...She's simply ahead of her time....'Tightrope' is a genre-blasting, cinematic fantasy that finds the Mon√°e seesawing between retro and futuristic and remaining fearless throughout." She has previously toured with Erykah Badu, No Doubt, Paramore, and Raphael Saadiq, and in September she hits the road with Of Montreal. Subscribe NOW to GRAMMYs on YouTube: grm.my/1dTBF8H
