The pair met when Grande was still on Victorious and their friendship was immediate; Monét has since written with Grande on several albums, co-penning tracks like “7 Rings," “Winter Things,” and “34+35.” Monét has simultaneously written her own albums and released consistently exciting solo projects, most recently her Jaguar and Jaguar II projects. She's nominated for seven Grammys this year.
