BellaSugar has an interview with Janelle Monae, discussing her style, her creative process and more.
Were you always into music, or was there a moment that made everything click?
I didn't listen to a lot of music growing up, actually. It wasn't until I got out of college that I explored more. Even now, I'm careful to limit how much music I take in. I don't want to be overly influenced by others. I love to read books like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick, and I've been inspired by visual artists, especially Salvador Dali.
