Saweetie

Diamonté Harper, known by Saweetie, is an American songwriter, rapper, actress and designer. Born in Santa Clara, she relocated to Sacramento, CA where she completed high school. She developed an interest for poetry which eventually led to her performing at open mic's. This passion would lead her on the path to pursue her love for music. Saweetie attended San Diego state then transferred to The University of Southern California where she would graduate in 2016. Saweetie's chance meeting with music industry veteran Max Gousse (Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Solange, YG, Tydollasign, DJ Mustard, B2k) led to an invite to record at Gousse's studios resulting in her debut single "Icy Grl" (Icy/Artistry) via Soundcloud. Saweetie released the Poster Child-directed video shortly thereafter, amassing 3.5mm Youtube plays in 3 weeks, while garnering organic praise from Vibe Magazine, XXL, HipHopDX, and MTV UK as the artist to watch in 2018. Comparisons to female emcees Nick Minaj & Cardi B are inevitable but Saweetie's combination of smart, empowering & aspirational lyrics, throw-back flow & trend-setting fashion-sense set her apart. Saweetie is currently recording her debut EP with hip-hop great No ID, Zaytoven, Da Internz, Cash Money AP & JWhitedidit.

"There's a huge whirl within the music scene filled with plenty of gems that have either been slept on or are slowly but surely surging their way up to the top. Saweetie comes under that latter. Serving nothing but waves, I cam tell that Saweetie has plenty more to offer so make sure you keep an eye out for her."
