Who Is Jess Glynne?

Jess Glynne, born on October 20, 1989, in Hampstead, London, is a British singer-songwriter renowned for her soulful voice and empowering anthems. Raised in Muswell Hill by her Jewish parents—father Laurence, an estate agent, and mother Alexandra, an A&R executive at Atlantic Records—Glynne was immersed in music from a young age. Her family’s original surname was Goldstein, changed by her grandfather. After completing a music course at Access to Music London, she signed with Atlantic Records in 2013.

Glynne skyrocketed to fame in 2014 with features on Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be” and Route 94’s “My Love,” both UK number ones. Her debut album, I Cry When I Laugh (2015), and follow-up Always In Between (2018) topped charts, while her 2024 self-titled album Jess earned her the BRIT Billion Award. Holding the record for seven UK number-one singles as a British female solo artist, she’s won a Grammy and nine BRIT nominations, advocating for mental health and LGBTQ+ rights.
