Life and career


Jackson was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida on the city's north side.[5][3] In 2001, she was crowned Miss Jacksonville.[6] She appeared as a contestant on TLC's 2003 UPN reality competition R U the Girl.[7][8][9]

Jackson began her career as a background dancer and vocalist, before establishing herself as a songwriter for artists such as Jordin Sparks, Rihanna, Missy Elliott, Pussycat Dolls, and Diddy.[3][5][10] She initially released R&B-influenced mixtapes under the name Alja Jackson, before venturing into trap music with the 2013 single "Mr. Money Bags" featuring Future.[11] In 2019, she received a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album for her songwriting credits on H.E.R.'s self-titled album.[3] That year she and Lil Duval were the opening act for the BET Hip Hop Awards.[3]

She gained wider prominence in 2020 after she joined the cast of season three of Love & Hip Hop: Miami.[12] The track "Twerk 4 Me" went viral that year, although it was originally released in 2018.[13] Her track "Fine Azz" is the theme song for A Black Lady Sketch Show's second season.[14]

KaMillion has acted on shows including Star and The Quad.[12] In 2022, she appeared in her first lead role as the character Mia Knight on Rap Sh!t, loosely based on Yung Miami of City Girls.[2]
