Gabriella Michelle Henderson (born 12 January 1996) is an English singer and songwriter. She competed in the ninth series of The X Factor UK in 2012, being the eighth contestant eliminated despite being a strong favourite to win. She signed with Syco Music shortly after, and released her debut studio album, Chapter One (2014), which reached number one in the UK. The album spawned the chart-topping single "Ghost", as well as the top 20 singles "Glow" and "Yours". She went on a four-year hiatus in 2015, and released her second studio album, Everything I Didn't Say, in 2022.

In addition to solo material, Henderson recorded a string of successful collaborations, including the UK top 10 singles: "Glitterball" with Sigma, "This Is Real" with Jax Jones, "Let's Go Home Together" with Tom Grennan, "Crazy What Love Can Do" with David Guetta and Becky Hill, "21 Reasons" with Nathan Dawe, "React" with Switch Disco, "0800 Heaven" with Dawe and Joel Corry, and "Alibi" with Rudimental.
