About

Acclaimed hip hop artist Azealia Banks’ prodigious skills belie her age. Born in 1991 and raised by her mother in Harlem, she discovered her yearning for the limelight at an early age and enrolled in the La Guardia High School of Performing Arts. A blossoming acting career beckoned, but it was music, in particular rap music, which helped Azealia discover her identity. When she was only 17, and under the pseudonym Miss Bank$, she released her first track “17†on MySpace. It went viral and brought her to the attention of XL Records.

Artistic differences between Azealia and the record label soon led to her departure and relocation to Montreal, Canada. There, reverting to her real name, she recorded two tracks, L8R, and a cover of the Interpol hit “Slow Hands,†which she put out on YouTube. However, it was her next, originally penned track “212,†which featured Lazy Jay, released as a free download in September 2011, which brought critical acclaim and launched her career as a recording artist in earnest. The BBC, Pitchfork and NME, among others, hailed her innovative use of lyrics backed by bass-heavy rapping and vocal skills, and it became a hit in Europe, the UK and Ireland. The album resulted in Azealia being nominated for a Sound of 2012 award, and in the same year she was ranked first place in NME's Cool List.

Moving to London in 2012, Azealia started work on her first full-length album with Florence + The Machine and Adele's producer, Paul Epworth. Her mixtape, Fantasea, was released in July 2012 and features the hits Yung Rapunzel and ATM Jam, and she has also been in the studio working on her debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, under the auspices of Universal, with whom she has a record deal.

A measure of Azealia's prodigious talent and recognition of her expected future success is that major music and video production stars from around the world are queuing up to work with her. Collaborations have included names such as Aaliyah, video producer Nicola Formichetti, most notable for her work with Lady Gaga, Two Door Cinema Club, with whom she toured in 2012, and Kayne West.

    Short but good

    by Girlfrbushwick on 11/22/15Terminal 5 - New York

    Seeing Azealia has been on my list ever since I mised her at Coachella her first time in 2012, so being able to see her at terminal a semi intamate venue was amazing. The only problem I had was the length other set. The doors opend at 7 her "opening" act went on at 8 I believe finished around 8:30 and she didn't go on for another 30 minutes. I understand you don't want to go on until most of the tickets that was sold has been scanned in. But she finished the show at 10 which was really short to me seeing as she has 3 albums to pull from. She didn't even do that much from BWET which is her debut album. Over all though it was a great show at a great location; her energy was high and the music was great. Thanks so much AB

    What happened Azealia?

    by Tenmega on 11/22/15Terminal 5 - New York

    Miss AZ showed up 2.5hrs late and only sang 6 songs? What happened? I thought she would turn up for the hometown show!!!!! Let's not even get started on the opening act, I don't know who those guys were but they should stay far away from a stage.

    Azealia KILLED It!

    by EyeSayUhh on 10/11/12The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    This was my first time attending a show at a small venue and I had to say the experience was su-PERB. Azealia is a great performer and knew how to command the stage and captivate her audience. My only complaint would be the ridiculously long wait times in between sets. The wait was far too long for performers with no live instruments, just a DJ.

    Azealia Banks Outshines Her Show

    by HollywoodWriter on 7/19/12The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    This was a super-long show, doors at 7p, and Azealia Banks didn't go up until nearly midnight. As a result, we went in late, about 10p, just in time to see Charli SCX, who was quite boring. Rye Rye (who we missed) is a better performer and should have been the lead-in act. After Charli SCX, there was a mermaid costume competition (bizarre but entertaining), AB's intro DJ... a fun interlude. and then Azealia Banks... who blew the doors off the venue, even though her sound system was sorely lacking. AB's star power overcame all shortcomings. Confetti and balloons ended the show. Overall, it was a great night!

    Mermaid Ball LA

    by SPANGLISHPOP on 7/17/12The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    I just heard of Azealia Banks earlier this year and instantly became a devoted fan. Her raps, her beats, her style is amazing. Not as well known yet, but she is going to blow up later this year with the release of her album. In the mean time, she has given us 4track album 1991 and mixtapes and singles. Check them out. This concert wasn't just a concert, it was an event labeled the Mermaid Ball LA and many dressed up in theme. I loved it. She brought with her some bad ass female artists as opening acts and a DJ that played throughout the night and kept the crown pumping. Although Azealia's set was short, the whole event lasted about 4hours. One hell of a BALL! P.S. Robyn surprised the crowd while joing opening act Rye Rye.

    Fun event overall

    by ACmaster27 on 7/16/12The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    Mermaid Ball LA was definitely something I'm glad to have not missed. The elaborate costumes, decor, free cotton candy... etc made this a really fun evening, as well as the music of course. Azealia's set was high-energy an exactly what I'd hoped for, but a longer one would have been better. She did '212' and some other hits from her first EP and some select pics from "Fantasea", but did not go in-depth on either. I'd love to see her again just as Azealia without the mermaid ball, just to see more of her catalog at work.

    Azealia Banks--too much too soon?

    by Getdownstaydown on 7/16/12The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    When I got the tickets for this, the email I received from TM said it was for an Azealia Banks concert. It turned out it was for an overly long Interscope promo party that lasted 5 hours with lots of dead air that was very poorly filled by the obnoxious Brooke Candy (Enough of her!). First there were 4-5 songs from a kid named Gita. She's just a kid. She's not concert hall ready. Then, there was Maluca who just got going after 2 songs and suddenly the plug was pulled. Then, lots of delays. Then, really the unexpected high point of the show was an unscheduled appearance by Rye Rye who brought on Robyn for one number (although Robyn's mic cut out some). Then, more delays. Finally, Charli XCX arrived who really was good but didn't fit in a a hip hop show. Then, more delays. Then, a very campy, unnecessary mermaid costume contest featuring various women and cross-dressers/trannies. More delays. At last, at 11:40 p.m., Ms. Banks began and sang for about 40 minutes amid lots of glitz, balloons, etc. She's not bad although her stage presence was lacking. She had to confer with the DJ Cosmo (really good throughout the show) after every number with her back to the audience. Boo! And there were lots of go-go dancers who at times had no clue how to move to the music being played it seemed. Pretty, but not really relevant. Should have delivered a shorter show with just 3 acts (Maluca, Rye Rye and Azealia), no Brooke Candy, no go-gos, less glitz, no contest. The problem with that would have been that Rye Rye would have over-shadowed Azealia as she has more talent at this stage of their careers.

    AZB has room to grow

    by WellenD on 6/5/12Bowery Ballroom - New York

    Really needs to bring it a bit more fiercely - I see the potential. Production value was low. Set/stage was un-inspiring. Chromeo really brought energy and pumped it there. I really like the venue, so it can be done. She's young and quite new. She'll get there, but her people need to put it together to help her.
