Los Angeles native Mila J began rapping at age four and immediately knew her destiny was to perform. Reminiscent of the late Left Eye, whom she admires, Mila J contributes her love of hip-hop to her music and sense of style, giving her a street edge with feminine appeal. "I've always loved old school groups like the Fat Boys oddly enough," Mila shares. "The guy at the video store ended up just giving me a copy of Krush Groove because it's my favorite movie of all time and I'd rent it every weekend."
As one in a family of six, the animated youngster met Chris (Stokes) when she was just nine years old after her sister had appeared in an Immature video. She caught the producer's eye and he made her a member of his now-defunct girl group Dame.
Hailing from a musical family, Mila J's natural ability shines through, from her sense of style to her self-written rhymes. "I went to school for fashion, but singing and dancing are in my heart,' she says. "That's what I love and can't see myself doing anything else."
