LEDÉ AT THE EL REY

Before buzzing newcomer Kiana Ledé performed to a sold-out crowd at L.A.'s El Rey last night, she stopped by Republique for a Republic-hosted hang. We're told a label name change is imminent.

Seen waiting for their cheese board are Channel Q's Ryan Mitchell—also known as @TheSlayGawd, which is coincidentally how Republic EVP Promo Gary Spangler refers to VP Top 40 Brett Dumler after midnight—97.1 AMP Radio On-Air Host and Music Director Yesi Ortiz, Ledé, Pandora Head of Pop and R&B Tiana Lewis, Dumler and HITS' Samantha Hissong.

Meanwhile, outside the venue, a line had formed around the block for Ledé, whose breakout single “EX” just surpassed 92m global streams while being played at Urban, Rhythm and Pop radio across the world. Her six-track EP, Myself, dropped Friday (6/7).
