She attended Quintin Kynaston School in St John’s Wood but later transferred to Haverstock Secondary School, where she did not complete her GCSE examinations.

Career

Tulisa began her music career when she joined forces with her cousin Dappy and friend Fazer to form the hip-hop group N-Dubz. Dappy and Fazer had already started rapping together, but they wanted to add a female voice to the group, which was initially called the Lickle Rinsers Crew.

They invited Tulisa to join, and the group released successful singles like “Bad Man Riddim” and “Life Is Getting Sicker by the Day” on pirate radio stations.

After their success as the Lickle Rinsers Crew, the group changed its name to NW1, named after the area they were from in London. In 2005, they released their first official music video for the track “Everyday Of My Life,” which received airplay on Channel U.

The group continued recording demos under the name NW1, such as “Don’t Feel Like Moving,” “Girl On Road,” and “Livin Broke,” before releasing their first single, “You Better Not Waste My Time,” which was only available for download.

In 2006, N-Dubz released their first mainstream single, “I Swear,” which gained them wider recognition. They followed this up in 2007 with the self-released single “Feva Las Vegas,” which reached number 57 on the UK charts.

Over the next few years, N-Dubz achieved multiple top 10 hits in the UK with songs like “I Need You,” “Papa Can You Hear Me?,” and “Best Behaviour.”

From 2011 to 2012, Tulisa took a break from N-Dubz to judge the television talent show The X Factor UK. In 2012, she released her debut solo studio album, “The Female Boss,” which included the UK number one single “Young” as well as the top 20 hits “Live It Up” and “Sight of You.”

Tulisa continued working on solo material, releasing the single “Living Without You” in 2015. After a few years away from music, she returned in 2019 with the single “Daddy” on the Xploded Records label.

In 2022, Tulisa reunited with N-Dubz for new music and a tour, culminating in the release of their fourth studio album, “Timeless,” in August 2023.

Most recently, in November 2024, Tulisa was confirmed as a contestant on the twenty-fourth series of the reality show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

Throughout her career, Tulisa has also launched her fragrance, “The Female Boss” and a fashion line called “TFB by Tulisa” with Bank Fashion, cementing her status as a multi-talented entertainer.
