BallGameLJ is an up-and-coming hip hop artist born LJ Jackson in Tallahassee, FL on October 24th, 1994 to his parents and a big sister; 12 years his senior. LJ’s parents split up when he was still quite young. As a result, LJ spent a lot of time without an active father in his life.
With no active role models LJ’s grades quickly took a hit and like many he took to the streets and hit the pavement running. He quickly learned how to hustle and ball hard; earning him his stage name BallGameLJ.
LJ has been around music his whole. Didn’t matter if he was home, school or in between music was always surrounding him. Music was apart of all aspects of LJ’s life; the celebrations, the difficult times, moments of creativity, moments to heal the trauma and everything in between.
With influences spanning decades and multiple genres; from that old school R&B to idols like Tupac and JayZ you quickly realize that while LJ is a true 90’s baby he really does have an old soul and it can easily be heard in his tracks.
BallGameLJ released his first project in March of 2019 and has been in the studio non stop since; having accumulated quite the vault of music soon to be released.

Since she was brought up in a big family with values and care, she learned to take care of people around her and respect others and own self priority. Undeniably, these values have helped her to develop into the fine person that she is.
She believes in learning lessons life gives you and nurture from them, and develop as we progress in life. Indeed, she has wavered her way through adversity initially, which has made her nothing but strong, as substantial as Diamond.
Firstly, she never believed in her talent, and with self-doubt, he continued her education and finished college. Because she believed her music would not be enough for her as survival in career and life. Meanwhile, she made music whenever she can and kept pursuing her passion as a hobby.
Despite the uncertainty, she kept listening to music in all forms, mostly R&B and hip-hop, of all great musicians and learns significantly from listening to the works of maestros. Easily one of her all-time favorite band is The Weekend and listening to them gives great pleasure.
Meanwhile, she finds solace in creating her music whenever she can; it was always intended as a leisure pursuit. After any day that took a toll on soul and mind, she would wind down her day with music creation and listening to recharge and nourish her soul.
One day, while she was listening to her recording of the track “Nobody,” she realized whatever she would not measure up to music. While listening to the track, realization dawned on her that she must drop all pretend to try to be better at anything else.
When her friends and family listened to her music, they were in awe of the creation. While it gave her the affirmation, this affirmation was probably the only push she needed to start her self-realization journey and pursue her passion.
From that point on, she has been creating music and writing songs, day and night, and this new transformation is exceptionally refreshing and feeding the creative process.
While she has created many upbeat tunes and has only gotten better in her craft, recently she collaborated with a great musician, and now a friend. She collaborated with Mika Smiff for a song, “The One.”
She has a great feeling about this song, and she believes even Mike Stiff was in a completely different element, and they together have created something huge.
She is extremely content about how her life shapes with her music and sends a massive shout-out to Stryngz for being the guide, the energy that directed her towards her passion.
Her lyrical prowess reflects the voice of female millennials with songs that mimic her lifestyle where she works hard but play harder, making no apologies along the way. She collaborated with Amber Smoke on the theme song Cause We’re Single (available on all streaming platforms) for the scripted Amazon Prime series Sex &The Single Lady (which she co-stars in).
Gianna Milani was featured as the “Artist to Watch” in the Power Summit Scouting Report and featured in the Indie Music Grind. She was recognized by Urban Buzz Factor as the “Spot Light Artist" and scored a feature in Chris Brown's Mechanical Dummy and DJ Enuff's Enuff Said magazines. She's made her rounds in the underground music circuit earning a spot on Hot 97’s DJ Magic's highly anticipated Take It to The Streets mixtape with her single I Ain’t Playin’ Wit You, feat. Hollywood Play (RIP); and was recently featured on 97.9 THE VIBE SHOW (streaming on Spotify) in addition to blogs Enspire and World Wrap Federation.
Gianna’s live stage performance is a crowd pleaser for both men and women which highlight her versatility as she seamlessly glides from sexy tease to homegirl next door. This TRIPLE THREAT has made her mark and is ready to claim her spot in Hip Hop music.
