JoJo presents the Rising Star Award to Victoria Monét at Billboard Women In Music 2024.
jojo:
Hello everyone!
Talk about the power of dreams. This year's Rising Star award, presented by Honda, goes to someone who has had a spectacular year: Victoria Monet just won three Grammy Awards, including best new artist, and her R&B hit “On My Momma” has passed two weeks at No. 1 on both the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts and the main R&B Hip-Hop Airplay charts.
If all she did was make magic on stage, performing her own material, that would be enough to celebrate her rise, but Victoria is also a prolific songwriter for others. She has written or co-written 30 Hot 100 songs in her career so far, including writing two of Ariana Grande's No. 1 hits, “Thank U, Next” and “7 Rings.”
But beyond all the impressive numbers and statistics, she is (and I'm not just saying things like this) the kindest, sweetest person you will ever meet. Most amazing of all, she has reached the highest heights of her career so far while she is mother to beautiful little Hazel, who is now also a Grammy winner.
Victoria has done things on her own terms, mastering multiple aspects of the changing music industry while trusting and empowering those around her to win with her day one team. This is her moment and I don't think there is anyone on the planet who deserves it more.
