The teenage contestant turned solo artist built a catalog of emotional ballads and covers after her television breakthrough.
For a quick sense of her style, 'Highest Love' and her cover of 'Unforgettable' still hold up. They capture that early, clear-voiced pop sound she built her name on.
Most people first heard her voice on 'The X Factor' when she was 13, singing 'Unforgettable' as her debut single. That early exposure led to a self-titled album and songs like 'Highest Love,' which became one of her most-played tracks. Even after stepping back from major labels, those television performances and her handful of releases still define what listeners know.
She finished as runner-up on 'The X Factor' in 2012 and released a self-titled album that same year. After parting ways with her label in 2014, she continued independently, putting out another album called 'I Am' in 2017. Her catalog includes covers like 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' and collaborations with artists like Tate Stevens and Fifth Harmony.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
