One of the most legendary and celebrated female music artists in the world, Missy Elliott is a five-time Grammy Award winner and the only female artist to have six of her albums platinum certified. After achieving path-breaking record sales of over seven million in the United States alone, Elliott accomplished the unexpected in the male-dominated world of rap music. This impeccably determined woman has made her mark in the world of hip-hop, a feat that is in every way a phenomenal one. Just as strong-willed, hard-working, and persistent as she is today, her childhood was far from rosy. In fact, it was filled with bad incidents and episodes of domestic violence that her mother had to endure from her father. However, young Elliott did not give up on her passion for singing. In her teenage years, she became a part of a vocal band, and the rest as they say is history. Right from her first album, she achieved superstar status and with her constant effort and sensational musical capabilities, zoomed to acquire the top spot in the music industry. Some of her well-known albums include, ‘Under Construction’, ‘Respect M.E.’ ‘Miss E… So Addictive’ and ‘The Cookbook’.
