Sensational Songwriter and Record Producer, Nija Charles

Nija Charles is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, performer, and producer. Nija Charles began her professional music career in 2017 writing songs for Beyoncé and Jay-“Heard Z’s About Us” and “LoveHappy,” Cardi B’s “Ring” and “I Do,” and Drake’s “No Guidance.”

Nija grew up seeing her uncle and aunt experiment with the producing software Fruity Loops, which sparked her interest in music. Her curiosity quickly turned into a passion that she pursued on a daily basis. Nija was accepted into the prestigious Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU after pursuing her ambition. She pushed her love of music to the next level by writing the melody and lyrics for her own production. While this was initially only a marketing plan to promote her music, her tracks were met with a positive response and swiftly spread to a few notable music producers and A&R’s.
Nija met her soon-to-be manager, J. Grand, an industry vet and senior A&R for RCA Records, shortly after her first semester of sophomore year. She was transported to Los Angeles two weeks later to work with some of the industry’s most well-known producers.

Her work has earned her three Grammy nominations, several press appearances, and a solo recording contract with Capitol. Post Malone and Travis Scott are among the Under 30 graduates with whom she has collaborated. She recently performed “My Power” from the Lion King soundtrack alongside Beyoncé and Tierra Whack. Charles has also worked on Wizkid, Ty Dolla $ign, Maroon 5, H.E.R., and Megan Thee Stallion’s albums in the recent year.
