Jess Glynne with Leah Kate
Jess Glynne is an English singer and songwriter. Glynne is the first British female solo artist to have seven number one singles on the UK Singles Chart. She rose to prominence as a featured artist on singles such as "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit, "My Love" by Route 94 and more recently on Rudimental's "These Days" with Macklemore. She was also considered one of the "Most Influential People Under 30" by Forbes magazine in 2019.

Who knew a trip to Pizza Express could inform a young teenager's life so greatly? One evening in 2003, Jess Glynne's parents returned home from a night in Soho with a signed CD by a new singer they had seen performing at the restaurant's regular Jazz night. "It had such a profoundly immediate effect on me," remembers Jess of her parents playing Amy Winehouse's debut album, "Frank." "I'd always loved the big pop vocals of Mariah, Beyoncé and Whitney, but hearing a woman's voice that was basically a jazz vocal, so full of individuality? Then realising she was British and still a teenager? That was the moment I knew I wanted to be as singer too."
Glynne is a woman in possession of a rather fantastically distinctive vocal herself. You've already heard the 26-year-old's richly evocative voice on Clean Bandit's UK No.1 classical-dance smash "Rather Be," which is the highest selling January No.1 since 1996. The track very nearly didn't happen though. "I've never sung on a song that I haven't written myself, so initially I wasn't at all sure about doing it," Jess admits. "But then I met the band and we went to the studio and had such a great time recording it. I absolutely love the song and I'm so happy to have been a part of it." She went on to feature on Route 94's incredible UK no. 1 hit "My Love" not long after. Not a bad way to start the year...
Now it's time for Jess to introduce her own sound, a distinguished mix of hip-hop with a soul voice and a sprinkling of pop. Hip-Pop-Soul perhaps?
As well as Bless Beats, Jess has worked with Rudimental and MNEK, but on their music rather than her own. She has also been in LA working with Switch (M.I.A., Beyoncé), the one-time other half of Major Lazer. Between them, the two have been creating Jess's signature sound, as well as submitting songs for a number of artists, including Tinie Tempah, Little Mix, Rita Ora and Beyoncé. Jess is also working with Felix Snow (SZA Gyptian), the third, and potentially final, part of her musical trilogy. "I like that I'm not working with hundreds of people or working with the same names that everyone else works with. Ideally I'd like to just work with those three people because I feel we've got a great thing going. I'm open to working with other people of course," she adds, "but so far I feel like the four of us have created something really cohesive that is different to what anyone else is doing."
