Jhené Aiko

Jhene (born Jhene Aiko Chilombo on March 16, 1988), is an American pop/R&b singer. She was formerly signed to T.U.G./Epic Records, home to Marques Houston and Omarion, but left due to delays with her debut album "My Name Is Jhene." She is the younger sister of R&b singer Mila J.

Early life

Jhene is the daughter of Christina Yamamoto and Karamo Chilombo. She is African American, [chinese]], and Native American. She has four siblings: Miyoko(sister), Jamila (sister), Miyagi (brother) and Jahi (brother). Jhene's older sisters Jamila and Miyoko toured with Immature and was in a now disbanded group Gyrl, which was signed to MCA/ Silas records. This led to Jhene's first meeting with producer Chris Stokes when Jhene was five years old. Eventually Stokes heard her sing, and he promised her that he would work with her someday. When B2K signed with Epic Records, Stokes suggested Jhene as a female solo singer and which led to her being signed as well. She served as the opening act for B2K and IMx on the Scream Tour 3.

B2K Cross-promotion and Other Releases

As a promotional tool for Jhene, a few of her songs are featured on B2K releases. Tracks five through eight on B2K's B2K: The Remixes - Volume 1 were actually songs by Jhene. They were: "My Name Is Jhene" (Intro), "He Couldn't Kiss" (Album Version), "Gonna Love You Anyway" (snippet), and "Stuck Like This" (Snippet). "Santa Baby", a cover done by Jhene, was featured on B2K's Santa Hooked Me Up. On Pandemonium!, she was featured as a guest vocalist on the song "Tease", and her song "Dog" appeared as a bonus track. Possibly as a ploy to get fans to listen to this song all the way though, a B2K bonus song "What U Get" can be heard immediately after "Dog" on the same track. The full version of "Stuck Like This" can be heard as the final track on The Remixes - Volume 2. She has a video for her single "NO L.O.V.E" which debuted on BET when she was 15 years old.

Jhene appears in numerous music videos including O'Ryan's debut video, "Take It Slow", B2K's debut video "Uh Huh" and "Why I Love You, P.Y.T.'s "Same Ol' Same Ol' (Remix)" featuring Sarai, Play's "M.A.S.T.E.R. (Part 2)" featuring Lil Fizz video and Morgan Smith's 2004 video "Blow Ya Whistle". Jhene's songs are also featured on the soundtracks of Barbershop, The Master of Disguise, You Got Served, The Proud Family and Byou.

2006 - Present

Although Jhene is no longer signed to Epic, she is currently back in the studio recording and writing songs, and continuing her education.
