Her musical career
Perrie kind of began her musical career already at primary school, where she was singing and performing often. However, the idea of being a great singer never came in her mind. In 2011 she did audition on the famous television show ‘The X Factor’. She performed with the song Alanis Morissette – You Oughta Know.
She was rejected in that audition but that didn’t stop her. Jesy Nelson also did audition in the same episode and was rejacted as well. Not much later these two girls created the group “Faux Pas”. Along with them, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall were a part of a group called “Orion” who came together with Perrie and Jesy and created the group named “Rhythmix”.
Nevertheless, they had to change their group’s name later because a children’s music charity had the similar name. Thus, they transformed their name to “Little Mix” and got the limelight. They became one of the best girl groups the world ever saw, participated again at The X Factor and… won the title!
When they first won the title, they released their first music album named “DNA” in 2012. The music album got the third position under UK Albums Charts and one of the top five positions in the USA. Such an achievement it was!
The Little Mix band then went on and released their second album named “Salute”. After that they released “Get Weird” in 2015. And in 2016, they released their fourth album, which was named as “Glory Days”. By releasing this series, they were declared as the winners of the series that made them the first-ever group to succeed in the show. They got two number one singles that were:
● Damien Rice cover ‘Cannonball’
● Wings
While their debut album named ‘DNA’ was at number 3 in the charts of the UK.
