Janet Jackson

In 1986, already a famous child and teen actress with two albums behind her, Janet Jackson released her third album Control which would shape her musical direction for the next two decades. This was a turning point in Janet's career as she made the artistic commitment to express what she was feeling and show the world who she was, rather than other peoples vision of whom she should be. The record went through the roof and Janet's videos became the industry gold standard. Three years later Rhythm Nation laid Janet's independence on the line and the global response was spectacular. She dominated the Grammys, produced a slew of number one hits and became a fashion icon in the process.

For over twenty years Janet has maintained her global musical status with multiple award nominations, platinum albums and chart topping singles. About to embark on a world tour with her Discipline album Janet is now adding a fashion collection to her impressive business empire.
