Philly chick Ms. Jazmine Sullivan is having a helluva year! The 21 year old R&B singer, who signed her first record deal at the age of 16 only to be subsequently dropped, has been nominated for five Grammys- the most for any female artist this year. Jazmine’s first single, Need You Bad, went to #1 on the R&B charts, but the singer has still struggled for name recognition in an industry that no longer rewards artists who can actually sing and write their own music. However, like India Arie a few years back, Jazmine is about to discover that just being nominated for a Grammy can turn one’s career around. Being nominated for 5 can instantly make you a household name and most of all, send your album flying up the charts. Jazmine has been nominated for Best New Artist, the most coveted award for a new singer. She also recieved nods for Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal, Best Traditional R&B Vocal, and Best R&B Song for Bust Your Windows.
