WHAT IT IS: This 23-year-old Dominican from South Florida is equipped with fierce dance skills and a sultry voice. After gaining virality from her #InMyFeelingsChallenge dance video (15m views), she followed it up by dancing to her song, “Lil Bebe,” in Times Square (7m views). This summer, she completed a 20-city tour as the supporting act for Teyana Taylor and Jeremih. She’s now prepping for Def Jam’s fall college tour, and her first headlining tour—set for spring 2019.
