I Heart Music (News): Jazmine Sullivan Set To Win Rising Star Award At Billboard Women In Music Award

According to reports, singer/ songwriter Jazmine Sullivan will be badged with the Rising Star Award at the 2010 Billboard Women In Music Event on December 2nd in New York. The Grammy award winning songstress has already enjoyed great success with her break through 2008 album 'Fearless' and it looks as though her forthcoming Sophomore album, 'Love Me Back' isn't far behind.

The prestigious award honours artists that have achieved a level of success and have shown rapid potential at the onset of their career and Jazmine definitely fits the bill as her first single 'Need U Bad', reached no.1 on  Billboard's Hot R&B and Hip hop songs. 

Sullivan  will also be joining the likes of Lady Gaga who has also received the award and will no doubt continue to impress the music world with her talent.

I have the unforgettable experience of interviewing Jazmine a few years ago just before her  first London show at the Jazz Cafe, so congratulations are definitely in order!
