Atia Boggs

Atia Chade Boggs, known professionally as Ink, is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. She has been credited on singles and albums for Beyoncé, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Monica, Kendrick Lamar and Jennifer Lopez, among others.

Career Musical beginnings Boggs, self-taught in guitar, began performing in and around the Buckhead district of Atlanta without any musical industry connections in the late 2000s and early 2010s while a student at Clark Atlanta University. Inspired by The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Boggs began to focus on songwriting and formally breaking into the music industry, becoming an early mentee of writer James Fauntleroy through social media platform Facebook in the late 2000s. In 2021, Boggs contributed to several songs on Leon Bridges' acclaimed album Gold-Diggers Sound, adding her vocals to track "Don't Worry".

Beyoncé and GNX In 2022, Boggs contributed to standout tracks "Alien Superstar", "Thique", and "Summer Renaissance" from seventh Beyoncé album Renaissance. In 2024, Boggs contributed several songs to Grammy-winning Beyoncé album Cowboy Carter, including dual lead singles "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages", which became the first song by a Black female artist to reach the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and another Top 10 Hot Country Songs debut, respectively. Boggs co-wrote five songs in a Nashville writing session with Kacey Musgraves that did not make the album, and one may appear on Boggs' upcoming debut album. In 2024, Boggs also contributed to number-one single "Luther", as well as "Gloria", and "Dodger Blue" on Kendrick Lamar's surprise album GNX.
