Meet 22-year-old Nija Charles; the ‘secret weapon’ of Beyoncé and Cardi B

Joggling between school and being on the plane from one concert to the other wasn’t an easy task, so eventually, Charles dropped out of school. She set up an in-home studio in Los Angeles.

Charles has been described as Beyoncé and Cardi B’s secret weapon. The 22-year-old is a Grammy-winning songwriter, artiste and record producer.

She wrote “Heard About Us” and “LoveHappy”, two tracks from “Everything is Love,” Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s first album as The Carters. Cardi B’s “Ring” and “I Do” and Drake’s “No Guidance” in her debut album “Invasion of Privacy was also written by her. The album was a hit, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

The two albums did so well and won award at the Grammys. While The Carters won the Grammy for the Best Urban Contemporary Album, Cardi B’s won for the Best Rap Album.

Charles was nominated for best R&B song for her work on “No Guidance,” the hit track from Chris Brown featuring Drake at the Grammys.

Additionally, three other albums she contributed to were nominated for Grammys: Beyonce’s “The Lion King: The Gift,” for the best pop vocal album; Meek Mill’s “Championships,” for best rap album; and 21 Savage’s “I Am > I Was,” also for best rap album.
