Perrie

Perrie was always destined to be a big vocal artist. Before she sang her way to global fame in Little Mix as a teenager, she grew up with a dad in a gigging rock band and a mum who performed in social clubs. Instead of having singing lessons her mum encouraged Perrie to discover her own vocal tone and style. “Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguillera—they’re my biggest inspiration,” says Perrie. “All those big divas. I would sit in my room just trying to hit those notes. I don't think I'd leave my room until I got it. They, to me, were goddesses”   The world might know her as the self-assured Perrie from Little Mix, a group that boasts 3 Brit Awards over 17.49 million albums sales globally & 29.6 billion worldwide streams. However, her experience in one of the best-selling girl groups of all time was also transformative for a younger girl who was naturally shy and unsure of her immense talents. “I was only 16 when I first auditioned. Being put in a group was the best thing that could’ve happened to me for believing in my talents. They were my sisters, and older than me so wise in my eyes,” she remembers.
