Banks

Last year was a bit of a whirlwind for L.A.-based singer Jillian Banks, who performs as BANKS. It began when British DJ Zane Lowe found her song "Before I Ever Met You" online and hyped it on his radio show as the next big thing. Jump ahead one year, and BANKS has received award nominations from both the BBC and MTV, worked with fast-rising beat masters SOHN and Lil Silva, and toured with the Weeknd.
