TikTok creator and emcee Armani White has scored a deal with hip-hop music publication house Def Jam Records. The singer became famous this summer for his song Billie Eilish, dedicated to the grammy winning singer.
White says that the song is essentially about Billie Eilish’s style and the music she creates.
Def Jam Records has also worked with some of the most successful names like Jay-Z, Nas, and Kanye West.
Armani White feels his music is similar to Billie Eilish
The 25-year-old musician from Philly has listeners nodding to his song, which has garnered over 80 million views on TikTok. White has recreated iconic scenes from many of Eilish's songs.
He says that he tries to portray the same kind of feeling as Eilish does in her song. They explained the similarity by saying:
"I mean, honestly, I think Billie Eilish’s style is what the song’s about, but it’s also the character that Billie Eilish’s music portrays. I feel like it’s kind of identical to what I like to portray in my music."
While talking about his collaboration with Def Jam Records, Armani White shared that he feels "blessed" to have people that believe in him. He said:
"It’s a blessing to deal with people who just believe in me and people who understand the culture. They understand who I am, and who I’m trying to be, so I think that’s super important."
He continued by saying:
"And especially doing it with a really prestigious label like Def Jam. I mean, Def Jam has obviously just built up some of, like, the biggest names in hip-hop from the beginning."
The rapper shares When the Party’s Over as his favorite album by Eilish and revealed that she approves of his song about her.
His song was also shared by Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady. Brady posted the viral song on his Instagram account stories.
The Philly rapper claims that he will continue to create music dedicated to other celebrities. One of his most recent singles, Diamond Dallas, was inspired by Diamond Dallas Page, a retired professional wrestler who was also a wrestler in WWE.
