Janelle Monáe Robinson, also known as Janelle Monáe, was born on December 1, 1985 in [[Kansas City]], Kansas. As a child, she had always dreamed of being a performer on the stage. She left Kansas for New York to study theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. At first, Monáe aimed to become a performer on Broadway, but she changed her mind and went to music instead. She felt that music has the power to change the world. Later on, Monáe moved to Atlanta, GA, where she met Big Boi from [[OutKast]] and founded the Wondaland Arts Society. Big Boi introduced Monáe to Sean "P Diddy" Combs which led her to be signed to Bad Boy Records in 2006.

With a few exceptions, Monáe's songs [[Concept Album|tell the story]] of the futuristic dystopia of Metropolis and Cindi Mayweather, a [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|popular musician android]] and [[Super Prototype|prototype]] for the equally popular, mass-produced Alpha Platinum 3000 droid model. Cindi falls in love with a human named Anthony Greendown and finds a bounty placed on her head as a result.

* ''The Audition''<ref>A self-published release from back before Monáe founded the Wondaland Arts Society. It has not been re-released under her label.</ref>

* ''Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase)'' (2008)

=== The tropes that apply to Janelle Monáe: ===

* [[Agony of the Feet]]: "57821" describes Anthony looking for Cindi until "his feet became bloody and tired".

* [[All Part of the Show]]: The only people that suspect something is wrong when Cindi has a seizure in the "Many Moons" video are Lady Maestra and 6ix Savage.
