The Los Angeles native began rapping at age 4 and immediately knew her destiny was to perform. Reminiscent of the late Left Eye, whom she admires, Jamila contributes her love of hip-hope to her music and sense of style, giving her a street edge with feminine appeal. "I've always loved old school groups like the Fat Boys oddly enough," Jamila shares, "The guy at the video store eneded up just giving me a copy of Krush Groove because it's my favorite movie of all time and I'd rent it every weekend." As one in a family of six, the animated youngster met Chris Stokes when she was just nine years old after her sister had appeared in an Immature video. She caught the producers' eye and he made her a member of his now defunct girl group, Dame Four. Hailing from a music family, Jamila's natural ability shines through, from her sense of style to her self-written rhymes. "I went to school for fashion, but singing and dancing are in my heart, that what I love and can't see myself doing anything else." Is also the sister of JhenΓ© Aiko.
Her debut album, Split Personality"was shelved. Like many female acts in TUG, her career went no where due to poor support from the label. She was co-writer on the project, Mila J collaborated with Cory Bold, a seventeen year old phenom who adds icing to the already sweet cake.
Mila J poses a quadruple threat as she can sing, rap, dance, and write. Her first single off her shelved debut album was entitled Complete produced by Cory Bold. Her current status is unknown.

Then it all changed you walked out the door
Sitting here in this empty room...
Wondering if I should run back to you
I know that I can't call you babe, no more
I feel that your love for me was so real
Maybe, I made a big mistake
Cause you... continue to hunt me
Maybe I can make believe, I don't love you
Maybe I can make believe, I don't love you
Make believe I don't love you
Make believe I don't care(yeah, yeah)
But I do, but I do, but I do
I think I said goodbye too soon
Clear you shit out my room to soon
Me with out u, may have found someone else
I just can't get you off my brain, brain
I feel that I can't call you babe no more
I feel that your love for me was so real
Maybe I made a big mistake
Cause you, continue to hunt me
Maybe I can make believe, I don't love you
Maybe I can make believe, I don't love you
Make believe I don't love you
Make believe I don't care
But I do, but I do, but I do
Uh, still got your picture on my dresser
Still got your clothes in my closet
Sometimes I catch myself reminiscing (fuck)
shit. holding hand and making plans
for me to take your last name
Hope you understand
Wish we could work it out for this last time
Maybe we should talk, face talk
I miss you now, I miss you now, I miss you now
Maybe I can make believe, I don't love you
Maybe I can make believe, I don't love you
Make believe I don't love you
Make believe I don't care
But I do, but I do, but I do
