Jhen Aiko Efuru Chilombo , known as Jhen Aiko or Jhen, is an American singer and songwriter from Los Angeles, California. She embarked on her music career contributing vocals and appearing in several music videos for RampB group B2K. At the time, she was known as B2K member Lil Fizzs cousin, though she is not actually related to him. It was used as a marketing tool, suggested by Sony and Epic Records, to promote Aiko through B2K and attract an audience. In 2003, Aiko was set to release her debut album, My Name Is Jhen, through her labels Sony, The Ultimate Group and Epic, however the album was never released, with Aiko asking to be released from the label in order to continue her education.

Jhen Aiko was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Christina Yamamoto and Dr. Karamo Chilombo , a pediatrician. Aiko is of African American, Japanese, Spanish, Dominican, German Jewish, French, and Native American descent.
