KELLIMARIE WILLIS

Kellimarie is 17 years old and lives in Coventry. She has grown up in a family of performers, with her grandfather, mum and auntie all singing.

She is the youngest of five and found singing the best way to stand out amongst her brothers. She is currently studying song writing part-time in Birmingham and loves to write her own music.

LUENA MARTINEZ

Luena is 20 years old and lives in London. She auditioned for The X Factor in 2016 and made it all the way to 6CC. She sets herself the challenge of writing a song a day and has done so for the last two years.

She believes in the ‘Power of Music’ and goes into schools to speak to young people about positive mental health.

SEORSIA LEAGH JACK

Seorsia is 18 years old and lives in Ireland. Music has always been her true passion, she’s been singing since the age of two, and professionally since the age of 15 when she released her first song.

Since then she has continued to write music, with one of her songs having 200,000 streams on Spotify.

HALLE WILLIAMS

Halle is 19 years old and lives in London. She studied dance and musical theatre at Urdang Academy, and from a young age would always sing songs by Beyonce, Aaaliyah and Ciara.

Dancing was her first love, and she’d love to bring this aspect to the girl band.

VIRGINIA HAMPSON

Virginia is 17 years old and lives in Essex. She has a large family and says her older sister is the most important figure in her life and shares her love of performing.

She is currently studying for her A Levels and loves to paint as well as sing, but her lifetime ambition is to simply ‘be happy’. Despite not having any formal vocal training, she has always sung and performed since the age of eight.

JESS FOLLEY

Jess is 16 years old and lives in Essex. She is currently studying music and has started writing original songs a couple of years ago.

In 2017 she won ITV’s The Voice Kids with Pixie Lott mentoring her, and since then she has wanted to take her singing career even further.
