For over a decade, Victoria Monét has wowed the world as an R&B artist and as a songwriter for Jhené Aiko, Chloe x Halle, Brandy, and her most prolific collaborator, Ariana Grande. The bisexual icon finally received her flowers this year when she won Best New Artist at the Grammys. Her critically acclaimed 2023 album, Jaguar II, also birthed the hit “On My Mama.”
The road to success wasn’t always easy. Postpartum depression during the pandemic’s roughest days left her feeling isolated. But her support system helped her create some of the most meaningful work of her career to date.
"'On My Mama' was the first record I did that I actually liked," she says. "And it came while I was in a place of trying to speak affirmations to really believe and get that confidence back."
Monét’s message to LGBTQ+ fans? "The world is full of so many unique and beautiful people. Who you are is more than enough. We all deserve to live and love openly as our most authentic selves." @victoriamonet
