Robinson was born in the 1980s and grew up listening to Elton John, Duran Duran and Michael Jackson. At the age of fifteen, Lady May stopped attending high school and became a hip hop dancer in music videos for artists such as: LL Cool J and Jodeci, but was left unsatisfied, eventually turning to rap music.

She hooked up with producer Deric "D-dot" Angelettie to record her debut album May Day, which failed to appear as scheduled in August 2002.
