Janelle Monáe, Dreamer Isioma, Nana Kwabena

Is there anything Janelle Monáe can’t do? In the age of hyperspecialization, Monáe is a Renaissance artist to the very core, defying rigid categorization time after time by marching to her own beat. At 37 years old, she’s already an eight-time Grammy nominee, award-winning actor, and recently authored her first book. Fresh off the release of her triumphant fourth studio album, The Age of Pleasure, Monáe continues to carve her own path by doing what she does best – and that’s whatever she wants. Genre-bending Chicago artist Dreamer Isioma and Grammy-nominated producer Nana Kwabena also perform. —3043998
