Official GRAMMY® Week Event to Take Place on
January 25th in New York City
Time Inc.’s (NYSE: TIME) ESSENCE, the number one media company
dedicated to African-American women, will celebrate multi-GRAMMY®
winner and music icon Missy Elliott with its 2018 ‘Black Women in
Music’ honor on January 25, 2018 at the Highline Ballroom in New
York City.
A multi-GRAMMY Award-winning rapper, singer, songwriter and
producer, Elliott has consistently pushed the boundaries of
R&B, hip-hop and pop music with a string of classic
hits—including Get Ur Freak On, Work It, Lose Control, Lady
Marmalade, Pep Rally and WTF (featuring Pharrell), among many more.
Elliott has collaborated with entertainment giants such as
Timbaland and Pharrell, as well as produced chart-topping hits for
Whitney Houston, Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige. 2015’s legendary Super
Bowl Halftime show performance with Katy Perry solidified Missy’s
global influence across generations. Now, following nearly a
decade-long focus on behind-the-scenes production work, she has
re-emerged stronger than ever with the release of I’m Better
(featuring Lamb, and another version with hip-hop heavyweights Eve,
Lil Kim and Trina), as well as a planned documentary on her life in
music. Considered a seminal force in the entertainment industry,
Elliott is also a positive role model: projecting strength,
confidence and female empowerment to her legion of fans. Missy
Elliott is a formidable businesswoman and retains full creative
control over her music and multimedia content. After more than two
decades in hip-hop, she is still at the top of her game.
“The artistry of Missy Elliott cuts across
generations—underscored by her vast creative accomplishments and
contributions to the culture,” said Vanessa De Luca, ESSENCE
Editor-in-Chief. “So prolific is her work, she is an inspiration to
women all over the world. Missy’s energetic presence is truly
magnetic, and we can’t wait to celebrate her as one of the artistic
masterminds of our time.”
Established in 2010, ESSENCE ‘Black Women in Music’ recognizes
the accomplishments of both emerging and established artists and
influencers during GRAMMY week. Previous celebrants include GRAMMY
Award winners Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Mary J.
Blige, Kelly Rowland and GRAMMY Award nominee Andra

singer/songwriter Emeli Sandé.
