Bahja Rodriguez

Bahja Rodriguez is currently single. She was in a relationship with American rapper Santo August aka ‘Roc Royal,’ from 2011 to 2012.

She believes that the best thing about being an artist is ‘Being able to express yourself and being able to help other people say what they can't put into words.’

Bahja Rodriguez was born on August 2, 1996, in Georgia, USA, in an African-American family to John- John Rasboro and Shamra Rodriguez. She showed interest in music at a young age. Her parents took her to various competitions and events to let her explore her music options.

Both her parents are TV celebrities. Her mother, Shamra Rodriguez, has featured in many of Bahja’s covers.

Bahja began her professional music career when she was only 12. She has a younger sister, Lourdes Rodrguez, who was also a member of ‘OMG.’

Bahja’s professional career began when at the age of 12 she joined the girl music group, ‘OMG’ (Officially Miss Guided), in 2009. The group, initially called ‘’The OMG Girlz,’ was founded by ‘Grammy’ Award’ winner and singer-songwriter Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle, in Atlanta.

The group comprised of five members - Reginae Carter, Lourdes Rodriguez, Zonnique Pullins, Breaunna Womack and Bahja Rodriguez. Lourdes is the younger sister of Bahja, while Zonnique is her cousin.

The group’s mission was to show that women and girls can stand together and support each other. Their first public-performance came on an episode of reality TV show, ‘Tiny and Toya.’

The band’s members also made several appearances on the 2012 series ‘T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle.’ During her association with the group, she was known by her stage name, ‘Miss Beauty.’

After the release of their first single, ‘Ain’t Nobody,’ in 2010, Reginae Carter left the group, reducing them to four. After the release of their second single, ‘Haterz,’ Lourdes "Lolo" Rodriguez too left the group.

She released her first single as a solo artist in April 2015, and titled it ‘Jealous Type.’ The single streamed over more than 1 million times within a few days of its release.

This was followed by two more singles, namely, ‘Lipstick’ and ‘Next One,’ both of which received more than a million views on ‘YouTube.’ After a critically-acclaimed song and two buzzing singles, Bahja became more determined to take her music forward.

She released her first solo EP in November 2015. The album titled ‘It Gets Better’ featured seven tracks, including ‘Ride or Die’ with Jacob Latimore.

It Gets Better’ reached at number six on the ‘iTunes R&B/Soul Chart.’ It also debuted at number 10 on the ‘Billboard's ‘Heatseekers Albums Chart.’

She released her second EP titled ‘Luv’ in November 2016.
