Icy Girl Saweetie

The Bay Area native came to fame with her now platinum 2017 single “Icy Grl” which was released under ICY/Artistry/Warner Records.

She originally started posting her car rap freestyles on Instagram since she didn’t have the resources to book studio sessions. In her first session with manager Max Gousse, they produced one of her car raps into the hit single “Icy Grl”. Once released the single and video went viral.

“I used to write a lot of poetry to express myself, and I loved writing so I decided to write over beats,” Saweetie said.

Saweetie explained how she got her start in music, but she goes further into explaining when she began writing at 14 years old. “Growing up and watching dope females like Lil Kim and Aaliyah, I would always write little songs in the back of my head pretending to be them lol,” She said.

Along with her start in music, Saweetie also discusses her upbringing and how she grew up more of a tomboy. “My family is predominately men, so I grew up a tomboy playing sports like soccer, football, and music” Saweetie explains.

In addition to being a poppin’ artist, she is also a college graduate with a degree in Communications and Business from USC. Although it can be challenging balancing school, work, and music, Saweetie persevered.

Music was her first love, but she really wanted to complete her degree so she deferred her raps dreams.

“It was more of a matter of me juggling college and work. I worked three jobs and went to school full time so every time I’d try to pursue music but my grades would slip because I’d stop doing my assignments. But I made a promise to myself I’d go hard and graduate with high grades so I put music aside and went back to it after I graduated,” Saweetie explained.
