Post The X Factor[]
In March 2013, she announced that she had been signed to Columbia Records and she released her debut album "Join the Club", which peaked at #7 on the UK album charts. The same year she was engaged in a war of words on Twitter when fellow finalist James Arthur released a song containing a homophobic slur. He subsequently apologised for his behavior following the incident.
To date she has released three studio albums and five singles and in 2014 appeared as a featured artist on Santa Maradona F.C.'s single "Give Me Sunshine".
