About Missy Elliott
American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer
Missy Elliott, born Melissa Arnette Elliott, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Active since the 1990s, she first emerged as a member of the R&B girl group Sista and later became known under the name Misdemeanor. She began her career with Sista, a group associated with the Swing Mob collective led by DeVante Swing. Their 1994 debut album, 4 All the Sistas Around da World, earned critical praise but did not sell well.
