Early LifeEdit

Jade is from South Shields, Tyne and Wear. She was born to single mother Norma and lived with her brother Karl. At first, she was a student and participated in various singing contests in the area. She is close friends with The X Factor season 6 winner, Joe McElderry, who is also from South Shields. The pair used to duet together.

Jade began singing at an early age and from the age of 3, until she was 15, she attended Steps Dance & Fitness, South Shields,Tyne & Wear, where her dance instructor was Pam Eglintine, who said Jade "was always a good singer and used to work really hard in everything she did. Jade is quite a quiet kind of girl who just gets on with things... As she progressed with the dancing, I knew she was going to be a star because she just has that natural ability... She`s got an amazing voice. Even from a young age, she had a strong voice" At the age of 9, Jade joined Performers` Stage School, South Shields, Tyne & Wear When she was 13, in 

Year 9 at St Wilfrid`s Community College, secondary school in South Shields, Tyne & Wear, Jade was asked to sing in the school assembly and joined the choir. Delia McNally, Jade`s teacher at St Wilfrid`s, recalled, "Jade performed many times at school and sang at our tsunami relief concert in support of World Challenge". Jade remembers, "I did little school plays and musicals" From the age of 16, Jade performed in pubs and clubs. Jade`s mother, Norma, said, "Jade would be doing a gig and she`d invite Joe (McElderry, winner of X Factor 2009) to sing with her. They also appeared at festivals and charity gigs together".

CareerEdit

X Factor (2012-present)Edit

Jade auditioned for the show twice before in 2008 and again in 2010. She was sent home both times due to

lack of confidence, she then auditioned once again for the 2011 season with “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” made famous by

the Beatles. Jade, along side the other girls of what was to be Little Mix did not make it into the bootcamp stage of the

television show, The girls were all selected from failed solo auditions and all put into separate groups, being named Faux

Pas and Orion (in which Jade was in). Neither of the groups made it past the judges house. However, a last-minute

decision was made and two members from both groups were selected and put into a third ensemble, named respectably

Rhythmix. A few weeks into competition X-Factor executives attempted to Copyright the Rhythmix name, and come to find

out that the name was already for copy written. The girls had then decided to change the name of the group to avoid any

confusion with a charity that had been step up for helping young people make music. Thus, Little Mix was born. Simon

Cowell donated an undisclosed amount to the charity. 

Jade, alongside the other girls made X-Factor history as weeks went on, becoming the first all-female band to ever make

it in the top 6. Little Mix also the only X-Factor contestant to never be in the bottom 2. In December of 2011, Little Mix

became the first band in the 8-year run to win the competition, which was followed by the release of the winner’s single

“Cannonball” which hit the #1 position in 3 different countries.

DNA (2012-present)Edit

Following The X Factor, the girls signed a record contract with Sony Music subsidiary Syco Music. They said through a live stream via Twitcam that their debut single will be called "Wings". Little Mix announced their debut album in September 2012 called DNA, which released on 19 November 2012. They later published lyrics videos and official music videos of their other singles, "DNA", "Change Your Life", and "How Ya Doin'?".
