Born on July 13, 1988, in Camden, London, she rose to fame as a member of the hip-hop group N-Dubz. The group also featured her cousin Dappy and their mutual friend Fazer. Tulisa's musical roots run deep; her mother was a member of the '80s band Jeep, and her father was part of Mungo Jerry, renowned for their hit 'In the Summertime'. However, Tulisa's childhood was tumultuous, marked by several suicide attempts before her uncle provided a more stable environment.
N-Dubz: The Rise to Fame
In her early teens, Tulisa began performing as a singer. Soon after, she joined forces with Dappy and Fazer, initially under the name Lickle Rinsers Crew before rebranding as N-Dubz. In 2007, the group won the Best Newcomer award at the MOBO Awards and subsequently signed with Polydor Records. Their single 'You Better Not Waste My Time' earned a spot at number 26 on the UK charts. Shortly after, N-Dubz left Polydor and joined All Around the World Records, a label associated with Ice Cube's 'You Can Do It' album.
Breakthrough and Success
In November 2008, N-Dubz released their debut album, which led to their first headline tour. The group's second album, 'Against All Odds', released in November 2009, featured Tulisa's solo track 'Comfortable' and was certified platinum within two months. The band later signed with Def Jam, a label known for artists like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and LL Cool J. However, after the release of their third studio album 'Love.Live.Life', N-Dubz parted ways with Def Jam due to creative differences.
X Factor: A New Chapter
In 2011, Tulisa joined the judging panel of the X Factor, where she mentored the groups category. Her mentoring led the girl group Little Mix to victory, marking the first win for a group in the history of the show.
