Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo was born on March 16, 1988, in Los Angeles, California. Her early life saw her family’s home burn down when she was seven, leading them to relocate near Slauson Avenue, an area she refers to as “Slauson Hills.” Aiko began her musical journey in 2002, providing backing vocals and appearing in music videos for the R&B group B2K. Signed by The Ultimate Group and Epic Records, she was initially marketed as B2K member Lil’ Fizz’s cousin. Her planned 2003 debut album, “My Name Is Jhené,” was ultimately shelved due to label tensions, prompting Aiko to step back from music to focus on her education.
Aiko returned to music in March 2011 with the independent release of her mixtape, “Sailing Soul(s),” which garnered attention and led to her signing with No I.D.’s ARTium Recordings, an imprint of Def Jam Recordings, in December that same year. Her career gained mainstream momentum with her guest appearance on Big Sean’s 2013 single “Beware,” which marked her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. This was followed by her debut EP, “Sail Out,” in November 2013, featuring singles like “The Worst” that achieved quintuple platinum certification from the RIAA. Her debut studio album, “Souled Out,” launched in 2014, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200, showcasing her continued artistic growth.
Subsequent albums, “Trip” (2017) and “Chilombo” (2020), further solidified her position in the music industry. “Chilombo” peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and received three Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year, highlighting her critical and commercial success. Beyond music, Aiko has expanded her professional endeavors, launching her self-care brand, Jhenetics, which focuses on holistic wellness. In 2022, she established Allel Sound, an imprint under Def Jam Records, signing rapper August 08 and demonstrating her commitment to nurturing new talent.
