The Bay Area native got her start as a dancer — both ballet and modern — and attended Oakland School for the Arts. After an unfortunate knee injury leaving her unable to dance she transferred into vocal training and the rest is history. She began her journey into the music business when she joined Poplyfe in the 8th grade and hasn’t looked back since — even appearing on America’s Got Talent with the band. Influenced by Lauryn Hill, Michael Jackson, India Arie, Stever Wonder and Musiq Soul Child — she has an old soul while adding her own youthful twist to classic sounds. The best way she can describe her music is “feel good music” with R&B/Soul undertones. At only 19 years old, she has shared stages with Tony! Toni! Toné!, Stevie Wonder, Jamie Foxx, Sheila E, Lenny Williams at many historic venues including Caesars Palace, The Fox Theater, The Paramount and Yoshi’s
Artists always want to address their fans, but when they do so, the haters are always thrown in the mix too. The love and the hate have to go hand in hand right? Kehlani does just that for “How That Taste,” a bitter reality of what she’s gone through to get to this point in life, as she urges those who support her to touch the sky with her (as depicted in the artwork).

“It’s a Tsunami Mob anthem, ready to wake people up and ask them how that shit taste,” Kehlani says.
Kehlani – Jealous feat. Lexii Alijai Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Kehlani]
Pretty soon I’ma take your phone
Or you should hide it in yo pockets until you get home
Don’t wanna see no tweets about the night we shared
Don’t wanna hear reasons for it, baby I don’t care
You and I both know I’m not just anybody
And I regret bringing yo ass to all those after parties
You enjoyed yourself too much and you ain’t barely started
I just can’t invest in shit to end up broken-hearted
[Chorus]
You stay taken pictures, pictures
Just too show them to your bitches, bitches
Just so you can make ’em jealous
Now I know where your head is
Man you stay taking those pictures, pictures
Just to show them to your bitches, bitches
So you can make ’em jealous
So now I gotta dead this
[Verse 2: Kehani]
So lowkey, I just stay out the way
I built a lab up in the crib so I don’t leave all day
You always try to rush out when I need you to stay
But don’t forget to post a pic of you with yo bae
And by the way, I see right through it
I let you slide now cause I know you not use to it
If this is the way it is, don’t even put me through it
I’m quick to cut it off, if you don’t believe I’ll do it
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Lexii Alijai]
Boy don’t tell me that you sorry when
You with them bitches every night when you be partying
Then you come late night, trying to hide your phone
You know that shit’ll always end up in an argument
Why you always taking risk with me?
Hold me close by my waist, take pics with me
Women crush Wednesday’s mean shit to me
Little kid shit and I don’t let it get to me
Literally the whole world know this shit
Need a girl but you busy chasing hoes and shit
You the type to try to keep it on the low and shit
I need a real fly nigga, I’m the coldest bitch
I’m so legit, I goes and get
Got your bitches, they all up on my shows and shit
Look, keep it real, cause every time we chill
All you wanna do is post a pic
[Chorus]
