Miyagi Hasani, her younger brother, died on April 19, 2012, following a long fight with cancer. She has four siblings: two sisters (Jamila Akiko Mila Chilombo and Miyoko Chilombo) and two brothers (Jamila Akiko Mila Chilombo and Miyoko Chilombo) (Miyagi Hasani Ayo Chilombo and Jahi Chilombo). Her mother, Christina Yamamoto, on the other hand, is of Japanese, Dominican, and Spanish descent. Her father, pediatrician Karamo Chilombo, is of African American, Native American, Jewish, and German ancestry. “Trip,” her follow-up album, was released in 2017.Īiko clearly does not fit well into any popular racial classification, and this is due to the fact that she is of mixed ancestry. “Sail Out,” her debut EP, was published in November 2013 and went on to become the No. Following the mixtape’s success and a growing fan base, she was signed to Def Jam’s “Artium Record Imprints” the following year. Drake, Miguel, and Kanye West were among the performers. She returned to the music scene after finishing her studies by releasing a mixtape called “Sailing Souls” in 2011. She also had a great desire to continue her study, therefore she opted to decline the offer. Jhené Aiko attempted to release her debut music album (My Name is Jhene) through record labels such as Sony, The Ultimate Group, and Epic in 2003, but the deal fell through and the album was never released due to differences between the labels and herself. Surprisingly, the video took up the BET Viewer’s Choice Award.
In 2002, she was also included in the group’s debut video album, Uh Huh. She later joined the R&B boy group B2K and signed a record deal with Epic Music when she was only twelve years old. Her older sisters were already successful singers, therefore music has always affected her. Jhené Aiko has created a lot of rap songs by the time she was seven years old. To adding to the interest, her older sisters, Jamila and Miyoko, were already well-known as members of the R&B group ‘Gyrl.’ She got the chance to show off her singing skills to then-producer Chris Stokes through her sisters when she was just five years old. She began taking music and singing classes when she was four years old. When she was sad, music was her go-to way to pass the time and find comfort. Regardless, her favorite aspect of her childhood was the music.
