The Brooklyn-born songstress will take the Ahoy Rotterdam stage for the first time ever to host one of the globe’s biggest nights in music. Rexha has two nods under her belt for “Best New” and “Best Push,” the latter referencing the brand's ongoing MTV Push initiative that amplifies artists on the rise. She reigned as the MTV Push artist this past June and was previously nominated for “Best Collaboration” at the 2015 MTV EMAs. 

Throughout her career, Rexha has racked up many notable moments – she wrote the worldwide smash “The Monster” for Eminem and Rihanna, as well as hits for Selena Gomez, Pitbull, Tinashe, Iggy Azalea, etc.

In addition to her successful songwriting career, she has made a hot-ticket name for herself as a performer, with huge success surrounding her empowering platinum-charting duet with rapper G-Eazy, “Me Myself and I,” "Hey Mama" alongside Nicki Minaj, David Guetta and Afrojack, and her breakup pop anthem “No Broken Hearts” featuring Nicki Minaj.‎

"The MTV EMAs are the place where the whole world comes together to celebrate the universal language of music,” said Rexha. “I'm thrilled to be hosting this year's party, and to show the world a new side of Bebe."
