Jhené Aiko Hits the Stage at BBC Radio 1 Future Festival

By Ni'Kesia Pannell on Jan 22, 2014

2014 is starting out great for Jhené Aiko! This past week she performed on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ and then alongside Drake on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Now, the L.A. native has taken her talents across the pond for a performance at the BBC Radio 1 Future Festival.

Taking place in London, the indoor event is a showcase of the hottest new acts expected to thrive in the current year. Jhené, whose album Sold Out will be released in May, was a primary candidate from the massive string of artists set to dominate this year. Backed by her live band, the beautiful singer rocked a flowing white maxi tribal dress.

As part of her set she performed one of our new favorites, “The Worst,” giving audience members a firsthand look into what we’ve been admiring for some time.
