Show notes

This week’s #YoungBeautifulSuccessful goes into the story of the songwriter behind Ariana Grande’s 4th no.1 single ‘Rain On Me,’ Nija Charles (@amnija_). Nija came up as a hitmaker out of NYU through her savvy use of SoundCloud and Instagram that led her to becoming a Grammy Award winning artist for her contributions to Cardi B’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘Invasion of Privacy.’ Gabbie gets into the story of how ‘Rain On Me’ came into existence after Nija got a call from the producer BLOODPOP as well as Nija's plans for the future.
