Jeremih has notched five singles in the Billboard Top 100 since bursting onto the scene with his self-titled debut album in 2009. The Chicago-born artist has drawn comparisons to several high-profile performers, from Nate Dogg to R. Kelly to Jeremih’s idol, Michael Jackson. The current string of hits off Late Nights: The Album include “Don’t Tell ‘Em,” “Planes” with J. Cole and the dancefloor scorcher “Tonight Belongs to You,” which features Flo Rida and was recently remixed by EDM elite Afrojack.
Born on the tropical island of Guam, Mia is a recording artist, entrepreneur, songwriter, fashion icon, dancer, actress, and Krav Maga instructor. In 2013, the video for Mia’s independent single, “Red Love,” debuted on Vevo and received more than 12 million YouTube views and more than four million Soundcloud streams. Billboard Magazine named Mia one of eight “acts who will help define 2014,” a year during which she released her debut EP, The Gift, collaborated on the soundtrack for Divergent, and toured regularly.
