Jade Amelia Thirlwall (born 26 December 1992) is an English singer. When she was 15, she auditioned for The X Factor UK on three different occasions before rising to prominence as a member of the English girl group Little Mix. The group was formed and won the eighth series in 2011, and released six studio albums together, and amassed nineteen UK top-ten singles, five of which reached number one. Before going on hiatus in 2022, they became the first girl band to win the Brit Award for British Group. Her music is inspired by Pop, and R&B, with elements of 1990s Electronica and 80s and 90s Electroclash sounds.
Following Little Mix's hiatus, she portrayed herself in the British TV series Mood, and appeared in music videos for Kamille, Jordan Stephens, and Fontaines D.C. Thirlwall signed a solo recording contract with RCA Records in 2022, and released her debut single "Angel of My Dreams" to critical acclaim in 2024, and reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart.
In addition to her solo work, she has co-written songs for various artists through her publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music. Noted for her political and social activism, she is an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and an ambassador for Stonewall. Her involvement with charity work earned her the Gay Times Honour for Allyship in 2021.
