Jade from East London is another of Sylvia Young’s graduates and no stranger to performing, singing and acting.

Her first successful audition was for the role of Nyla in The Lion King and she’s since appeared in Whistle Down The Wind, as well as TV programmes including The Bill and Casualty.

For two-and-a-half years she was part of a fledgling girl band called Trinity Stone whose ambitions were to make it as a UK version of Destiny’s Child. Unfortunately the band didn’t make it big but since breaking up Jade has been even more determined to make it as a solo artist.

Jade grew up with her parents – dad Trevor, who is Sicilian and was born without sight in either eye, and mum Carol, who is blind in one eye and whose roots are in Jamaica. She is incredibly close to both of them and her younger brother and sister.

“I’m a true believer of fate. I’d been longing to work with a great writer and then suddenly I was auditioning for Andrew Lloyd Webber. Who knows where I’ll end up next!”

Jade’s all-time favourite Eurovision hit is Gina G’s Just A Little Bit.
