Childhood & Early Life
Tulisa Contostavlos was born on July 13, 1988, in Camden, North West London, England. She was born into a family of musicians as her mother, Ann Byrne, was one of the members of a musical group named ‘Jeep.’ While Ann’s sisters completed the musical group, her brothers Brian and Mick Byrne were part of a pop folk group called ‘Emmet Spiceland.’ Tulisa’s father, Plato Contostavlos, was one of the members of ‘Mungo Jerry,’ a rock group that reached its peak in the early 1970s.
Not surprisingly, Tulisa had inclination towards music from the very beginning. Family rendezvous would often turn into musical concerts with almost everyone taking an active part in it. Music played an important role in Tulisa’s childhood and she acknowledges that her mother’s music continues to influence her singing.
Her mother’s illness had a major influence on Tulisa’s childhood. Suffering from schizoaffective disorder from the time she was in her late teens, Ann Byrne gradually developed bipolar disorder and was sectioned under the 1983 ‘Mental Health Act’ when Tulisa was just five years old. This had a direct consequence on Tulisa’s upbringing, which forced her to find solace in alcohol and drugs.
When Tulisa was 14, her uncle Byron Contostavlos enrolled her at ‘Quintin Kynaston School.’ She later attended ‘Haverstock Secondary School,’ but failed to attend her GCSE examinations due to her conceived rebellious mindset.
Music Career
Tulisa’s career started when she was still fairly young. She got into a music group called ‘N-Dubz’ when her cousin Dappy, who was a member of ‘N-Dubz,’ invited her to be a part of the group. As part of ‘N-Dubz,’ Tulisa started performing in and around Camden during her early teens. In 2005, the group released its first music video titled ‘Everyday Of My Life,’ which became popular among music lovers.
In 2007, ‘N-Dubz’ released its third single ‘Feva Las Vegas,’ which broke into the top 60 on the ‘UK Singles Chart.’ In 2008, the group released a music video titled ‘Ouch,’ which increased their popularity on social media. Attracting more than 4 million views within a few days from its release on YouTube, ‘Ouch’ turned ‘N-Dubz’ into a social media sensation. On November 17, 2008, ‘N-Dubz’ released its maiden album ‘Uncle B,’ which had several popular numbers, including ‘Strong Again.’
Tulisa got to perform a solo song for ‘N-Dubz’ in 2009, when the music group came up with its second album, ‘Against All Odds.’ The album, which peaked at number six on ‘UK Album Chart,’ received platinum certification within two months of its release.
In 2010, ‘N-Dubz’ went on a tour, and performed at 17 shows. In the same year, the group released a book titled ‘N-Dubz – Against All Odds,’ which they claimed to be the answer to the questions posed by their critics.
In 2012, Tulisa announced that she was working on her solo album. After releasing a couple of singles, her debut solo album titled ‘The Female Boss’ was released on December 3, 2012. Unfortunately, the album received negative reviews from the critics and performed poorly on music charts.
In March 2013, it appeared in the media that Tulisa had started working on her second solo album. On January 4, 2015, she released a single titled ‘Living Without You,’ which grabbed the 44th spot on the ‘UK Singles Chart.’ On September 2, 2016, she released another single titled ‘Sweet Like Chocolate.’ She also made an important announcement, stating that she had signed with an agent to begin a career as an actress.
Acting & Television
Tulisa was part of a six part documentary series titled ‘Being... N-Dubz,’ which premiered on ‘4Music’ on June 21, 2010. However, this was not Tulisa’s first acting stint as she had earlier appeared in a TV series titled ‘Dubplate Drama,’ in which she played Laurissa, a singer who suffers from cocaine addiction. She then appeared in a straight-to-DVD comedy film titled ‘Big Fat Gypsy Gangster,’ which released in 2011. She made her big screen debut in the same year, when she played Amber Johnson in the British slasher film, ‘Demons Never Die.’
Tulisa received her big breakthrough on May 30, 2011, when she was signed to appear as one of the judges in the eighth series of the famous reality TV music competition, ‘The X Factor.’ In the show, Tulisa mentored music groups, such as ‘The Risk,’ ‘Nu Vibe,’ ‘2 Shoes,’ and ‘Little Mix.’ ‘Little Mix’ went on to become the most successful girl group in the history of the reality series. Thanks to her success as a mentor and judge, Tulisa was once again invited to be a part of the judging panel for the show’s ninth season in 2012. This time around, she mentored a group called ‘Girls,’ which had singers like Lucy Spraggan, Ella Henderson, and Jade Ellis.
In July 2014, a documentary film titled ‘Tulisa: The Price of Fame’ was premiered on ‘BBC Three.’ The documentary achieved moderate success, as it managed to attract 615,000 viewers. In August 2014, the makers of ‘The X Factor’ confirmed that Tulisa would return to the show as a guest judge for its eleventh season. She then appeared in the show’s spin-off, titled as ‘The Xtra Factor.’ Tulisa has also appeared in a couple of other documentaries, such as ‘Tulisa: My Mum & Me’ and ‘Before They Were Dubz.’
Personal Life & Controversies
In March 2012, a sex tape, featuring Tulisa and her ex-boyfriend, Justin Edwards, surfaced on the internet. Tulisa later released a video, in which she stated that she was devastated and heartbroken. She said that she had initiated a legal action against Justin Edwards for making the video public.
On June 4, 2013, Tulisa Contostavlos was arrested by cops on suspicion of supplying 13.9 grams of cocaine, which is classified as ‘class A drug’ under British laws. After several trials, the case was eventually dismissed by the judge as he believed the prosecution witness had lied in the court.
In 2015, Tulisa was arrested on charges of driving under the influence. She pleaded guilty and was ordered a fine of £1,185. She was also banned from driving for 15 months.
