Azealia Banks

Descriere

Azealia Banks is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actress. Raised in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, she began releasing music through Myspace in 2008 before being signed to XL Recordings when she was 17 years old. In 2011, her single "212" went viral and entered several international charts.

Since her first steps as a child in off-Broadway theatre productions to her training at La Guardia High School of Performing Arts - a breeding ground for stars - she’s been steadily perfecting her craft and making a name for herself.

Her very first recording “Seventeen” placed her on the radar of many record labels right away. Word about Miss Banks kept spreading online and in the streets until she caught the eye of several record labels and taste-makers. Classically trained in the Performing Arts, Banks is a truly versatile artist, as showcased on tracks like the infectious Fader co-signed “L8R” and her celebrated cover of Interpol’s “Slow Hands”.

Since then, she has released one acclaimed studio album, "Broke with Expensive Taste" (2014), two EPs, two mixtapes and nineteen singles.

Her long-awaited second studio album, "Fantasea II: The Second Wave" is up for release.
