RCA SIGNS LITTLE MIX'S THIRLWALL

Jade Thirlwall is the third Little Mix member to announce a solo deal, signing with RCA Records in the U.S. and U.K. Kevin Beisler and Sarah Montgomery at Full Stop will manage her.

Thirlwall has spent the last 10 years as a member of Little Mix, which won the U.K.’s X Factor in 2011 and has since gone on to become one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, with six Top 5 albums in the U.K., three of which reached the Top 20 in the U.S. The English outfit has also claimed five #1 singles in the U.K. and won Best British Group at last year's BRITs. Its total sales top 60 million, according to Sony Music.

Little Mix, which announced a hiatus in December, is also signed to RCA after moving from Syco in 2018 following a dispute between Simon Cowell and LM management Modest!

Thirlwall is repped by Sony Music Publishing and, in addition to her credits with Little Mix, has co-written songs for artists including Britney Spears, South Korean girl group Twice and Billy Porter.

Thirlwall's deal with RCA and relationship with Full Stop come after the 2020 departure from Little Mix of Jesy Nelson, who's signed to Polydor and Republic Records and is managed by YMU. LM's Leigh-Anne Pinnock is signed as a solo artist to Warner Records and managed by Tap Music.
