Ella Mai Career

She competed on The X Factor as part of a trio named Arize, but the group didn’t advance beyond the initial audition and subsequently broke up.

The following year, Ella Mai uploaded a solo EP of originals to SoundCloud and clips of covers to Instagram.

These caught the attention of producer DJ Mustard, who in January 2016 announced that Mai had signed to his Interscope-distributed 10 Summers label.

Mai made her proper debut the following month with Time, a poised EP of sleek, contemporary R&B.

She quickly followed up with two more Mustard-assisted EPs: Change, a November 2016 release, and Ready, issued four months later. Ready highlight “Boo’d Up,” a love ballad reminiscent of R&B’s pre-new jack swing era, cracked the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2018 and three months later peaked at number five — an unusually long period of ascent.
