"That's when I was really depressed", Banks says,
"I don't have a manager, I don't have a boyfriend, I don't
have any friends, I don't have any money. Here I am
working at the strip club, trying not to say the wrong
thing and get into fights with these girls who don't give a ****."
Azealia Banks is a 23-year-old lyricist from Harlem, NYC. Since her first steps as a child in off-broadway theatre productions to her training at La Guardia High School of Performing Arts -a breeding ground for stars- she's been steadily perfecting her craft and making a name for herself.
Her very first recording "Seventeen" placed her on the radar of many record labels right away. Word about Miss Banks kept spreading online and in the streets until she caught the eye of several record labels and tastemakers. Classically trained in the Performing Arts, Banks is a truly versatile artist, as showcased on tracks like the infectious Fader co-signed "L8R" and her celebrated cover of Interpol's "Slow Hands". A collaboration on the Major Lazer EP and her appearance in the Nike Sportswear 1Love video series upped her profile in the past couple of years and kept fans waiting in anticipation for her next release.
Oh, Azealia
