Jazmine Sullivan gets down with her bad self; 5 nominations


How impressive! J Records debut R&B artist Jazmine Sullivan has been nominated for five (5) Grammys! The Philly songstress solo debut “Fearless” garnered honors for Best New Artist, Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal, Best Traditional R&B Vocal.

Sullivan, who signed her first record deal when she was 16, has worked with Philly’s grassroots soul artist Kindred The Family Soul and production duo Dre & Vidal, penning hits such as “Say I” for Christina Milian. Sullivan admits she’s ecstatic to finally be recognized by her peers.

“Honestly, one nomination would have been enough,” says the 21-year-old singer and songwriter. “But it feels wonderful that all my hard work and struggle has finally paid off. Hopefully, this will make people more aware of my music. When I work, it’s really not a game, I come hard and [remain] focused so I can become a household name.”

She recently wrapped a 25-city tour as Maxwell’s opening act for the last two months.
