Life and career


Njomza Vitia[2] was born to Kosovo Albanian parents in Chicago, Illinois, where she grew up. Her father, Faik Vitia, and her mother, Sheki Vitia (née Haziri) are from Pristina, Kosovo. Her parents left Kosovo in 1992.[3] She has an older sister. As a child, Njomza was introduced to R&B music through her sister, and began listening to rock and pop rock music during middle school.[4]

Njomza began her career in music as the front woman for an alternative band called Scarlett. The band had a strong following and played Warped Tour in 2010. Once the band dismantled in 2011, Njomza went on to pursue her career as a solo artist. She posted cover versions on YouTube of Mac Miller, Kid Cudi, and various other artists. She was discovered by Mac Miller, who signed her to his Warner Bros. Records imprint, REMember Music.[5][6][7]

She also co-wrote Ariana Grande's songs "7 Rings" and "Thank U, Next".[8][9][10]
