Summary

Quiana “Qui” Griffin is a young R&B artist from Virginia Beach, VA, whose angelic vocals, magnetic presence, and masterful penmanship are rapidly capturing attention across the music industry. After relocating to Houston in July 2024 to pursue music full-time, Qui quickly built a dedicated audience of more than 400,000 followers and generated over 10 million views on her music content in less than eight months. Her live performance résumé is equally impressive. Qui has opened for top artists on AJ McQueen’s “When We Evolve” Tour and Kaash Paige’s “Better Than Revenge” Tour, while also collaborating with rising acts such as Akeem Ali. Beyond music, her influence extends into lifestyle and culture, securing partnerships with notable brands as she's recognized for her authenticity, artistic depth, and undeniable momentum. Qui is well on her way to becoming one of R&B’s defining voices — a presence the industry won’t be able to ignore.
