Since being found and fused together on hit BET series ‘Chasing Destiny’ last year, June’s Diary have been steadily building a base and buzz.
Shepherded by Kelly Rowland and Frank Gatson, the five-piece have been organically rising through the ranks.
Boasting a brand of talent and unity rarely seen in today’s microwaveable age, the ladies have garnered co-signs from the likes of Brandy and R. Kelly. The latter of whom enlisted them as special guests on his ‘Buffet Tour.’
That Grape Juice caught up with the ladies while they rehearsed for the Los Angeles stop on the sold-out trek.
Watch Kristal, Ashly, Gabby, Shyann, and Brienna in action above and below!
Look out for June’s Diary’s debut mixtape later this year!

These are songs that are a raw truth about a particular phase in my life that I just had to confront. This is going to be some of the best work I’ve ever done. Because I know who I am.
