Grammy Nominee Jhené Aiko Announces 2016 Australian Headline Debut

Following the critical and commercial success of her debut album Souled Out (2014), Jhené Aiko will be making her way Down Under for a run of dates in February and March.

The Los Angeles-based chanteuse's vocals have been compared to the likes of R&B superstars such as Brandy Norwood, Ciara and Aliyah; while her style has been likened to Frank Ocean's new/alternative R&B.

One of the most anticipated R&B albums of 2014, Souled Out debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and was the second highest debut for the week. The album went on to sell 70,000 copies that week. It would eventually hit the #1 spot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop album charts.

Jhené Aiko will bring her breezy, often freestyle voice and lyrics to The Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Monday 29 February, Melbourne's The Forum on Tuesday 1 March, Brisbane's The Tivoli on Thursday March 3, and Perth's Metro City on Saturday March 5.

Telstra customers can purchase tickets on pre-sale as of noon, Tuesday 8 December, until noon on Thursday 10 December.

Everyone else will be able to buy tickets at noon on Friday 11 December from Live Nation.
