Jesy Nelson is known as a member of the British girl group Little Mix. She was born by Janice White and John Nelson Romford in East London. Her mother is a local police officer and her father is a businessman. She grew up with her three siblings: a sister – Jade – and two brothers – Jonathan and Joseph.
Before Jesy became known as a member of Little Mix, she had worked as a bartender in a local bar in Essex. She had auditioned for the eighth season of the British version of The X Factor in 2011 and could not get past the Boot Camp round. Fortunately, a second chance with the group Faux pas started her career with Little Mix.
Jesy Nelson Bio (Age)
There is an official wiki page dedicated to Jesy, but there is hardly any information about him. Jesy Nelson was born on 14 June 1991. When Jesy Nelson was five years old, her parents separated and she had to grow up together with her mother. It was difficult for her mother to raise her and her siblings, as they had to move twelve times to find a home. She attended Jo Richardson Community School in Dagenham and eventually went to Cross Academy and Arts College in Horn Church, Essex. Jesy Nelson was a dedicated student of theatre and music. She also attended the Young and Yvonne Rhodes Theatre Schools, a famous performing arts institute.
Jesy Nelson sealed her place in a new group called Rhythmix, consisting of two members from Faux Pas and two members from Orion pas Jesy, Jade, Perrie, and Leigh-Anne. Rhythmix then went to the live shows of The X Factor, led by coach Tulisa Contostavlos. The judges pointed out their potential and called them a future band.
The band changed its name during the show as its name came into conflict with a children’s music charity group. This is how Little Mix came about. They delivered beautiful performances that demonstrated their spectacular vocal range skills. Jesy often prepared the stage at the beginning of the performances. Their hard work paid off, as they were the first group ever to win the X-Factor. As a member of Little Mix, she signed with Simon Cowell’s own record companies Syco Music and Columbia Records.
