Jesy Nelson was born on June 14th, 1991 in Romford in Essex, her parents are John Nelson and Janice White. Jesy has one older sister named Jade and two brothers named Joseph and Jonathan. It was reported that due to bullying, Jesy had to move to different schools several times. She attended secondary school at the Jo Richardson Community School in Dagenham. Jesy was a dedicated drama and music student and so then attended Abbs Cross Academy and Arts College in Hornchurch. Also, Jesy went to Sylvia Young and Yvonne Rhodes theatre school. 

 

Jesy auditioned for X Factor with the song "Bust Your Windows" by Jazmine Sullivan in Glasgow in 2011 and received praise from both Tulisa Contostavalos and Louis Walsh, however Gary Barlow wasn't impressed at all saying he just didn't get it and found her vocals to be, in his words, "generic". But Jesy was still able to move forward to Bootcamp where she was unsuccessful as a solo artist. Jesy auditioning in X Factor with the song "Bust Your Windows" by Jazmine Sullivan. She was then put in a four piece band named "Faux Pas" with fellow future Little Mix member Perrie Edwards. Faux Pas were unsuccessful, fortunately though both Jesy and Perrie were asked to form a new four piece band Rhythmix with Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. In the 4th live show they had to change their name. They've chosen "Little Mix " to be their new name. During the X Factor shows, Jesy was the victim of a horrible online bullying campaign against her. Jesy was exposed to nasty comments about her appearance and was visibly upset, but she received huge support not only from Mixers (their fanbase name) but other music fans. Little Mix went on to win the X Factor.

 

Little Mix released their debut single, "Wings" on July 1, 2012, and have since released three albums; DNA, Salute and Get Weird.
