It looks like Jhene Aiko’s stars are still aligning as she signs with Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) to represent the public performances of her music. No doubt the buzz about her musical talents has been steadily building after opening for Drake on his European tour and her epic performance at Coachella. She has also appeared on Saturday Night Live, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Ellen and The Conan O’Brien Show.
BMI Vice President Catherine Brewton states, “Jhene Aiko has brought a new and fresh sound to music. Her smooth voice and compelling lyrics are the perfect combination to fill a void in popular music. I am excited to hear what’s next for her musically.” BMI Director Nicole Plantin added, “Jhene’s authenticity is what drew me to her. She is true to herself and her sound and her lyrics reflect this. It’s always exciting to be a part of someone’s career who you really believe in.”
Jhene Aiko has been nominated for three 2014 BET Awards: Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, Centric Award and the Coca-Cola Viewers Choice Award. Her song “The Worst” hit no. 1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop chart and she recently performed at Hot 97’s Summer Jam Festival 2014 at Metlife Stadium. Her debut album “Souled Out” is set for release this summer and includes tracks produced by The Fisticuffs and NO ID.
