Leigh-Anne Pinnock (born 4 October 1991) is an English singer. She rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Little Mix, which was formed and won the eighth series of, The X Factor UK. As part of the group, she won three Brit Awards and achieved 19 top-ten singles and five number one entries on the UK Singles Chart, before going on hiatus in 2022. In 2021, she made her acting debut in the film Boxing Day.

As part of her solo career, Pinnock has released the singles "Don't Say Love" and "My Love" featuring Ayra Starr. Her third single "Stealin' Love" was preceded by the release of her debut EP No Hard Feelings on 31 May 2024.[1] In 2023, she won Musician of the Year and Breakthrough Artist at the Glamour Awards 2024.[2]

Pinnock is noted for advocating for various racial issues and for racial equality, which earned her a National Diversity and Visionary Honour Award. Her documentary, Leigh-Anne: Race, Pop & Power (2021), received critical acclaim and was nominated for Best Authored Documentary at the 26th National Television Awards.

Early life

[edit]

Leigh-Anne Pinnock was born on 4 October 1991, to black mixed-race parents Deborah Thornhill, a history teacher, and John Pinnock, a champion boxer, and was raised in a Caribbean household.[3] Both of her grandfathers immigrated to the United Kingdom in the 1960s and entered interracial relationships.[4] She lived in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.[5][6] with her two older sisters Sian-Louise and Sairah.[7] Sairah became her manager following Little Mix's hiatus in 2022. She has Barbadian and Jamaican ancestry[8] and counts Jamaica as her second home.[9]

Before joining Little Mix, she worked as a waitress at Pizza Hut and used to post her music on MySpace and Facebook.[10][11] Her early experience of organised singing came when she joined a youth club and choir then run by Jay Blades, who later became a trustee of her charity The Black Fund, which she founded in 2021.[12] In 2020, Pinnock spoke out about the first time she experienced racism, at the age of nine, for a documentary that was later aired on Channel 4.[13][14]

Career

[edit]

2011–2022: Career beginnings and Little Mix

[edit]

Pinnock auditioned as a soloist for the eighth series of The X Factor in 2011. Her first audition was "Only Girl (In the World)" by Rihanna.[15] After she failed the first bootcamp challenge, she was placed in a three-piece group named "Orion" alongside Jade Thirlwall. Orion performed a rendition of "Yeah" by Chris Brown. Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson both were in another group called "Faux Pas". Faux Pas performed a rendition of "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. Both groups, however, were eliminated. Later, the four were called back by the judges and formed into the four-piece group Rhythmix, and they progressed to judges' houses.[16] They reached the live shows and was mentored by Tulisa Contostavlos.[17] On 28 October 2011, it was announced that the group name had changed to Little Mix.[18] On 11 December 2011, Little Mix became the group to win the series. They became the first girl group to make it past week seven of the live shows, the first girl group to reach The X Factor final and the first and only girl group to win the show.[19][20][21]

As of 2022, Pinnock has released six studio albums and a compilation album with the group: DNA (2012), Salute (2013), Get Weird (2015), Glory Days (2016), LM5 (2018) Confetti (2020), and Between Us (2021). Pinnock shares songwriting credits for more than 50 songs, across Little Mix's six studio albums. She has co-written two UK number one singles with "Wings" in 2012 and "Shout Out to My Ex" in 2016. In 2019, she signed with Sony/ATV as a published songwriter.[22] With the group, Pinnock achieved nineteen top-ten singles, five number-ones, and six consecutive top-five albums on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the first girl group to achieve this and the first girl group to spend a total of 100 weeks within the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart.[23][24] Since Little Mix's debut, they have become one of the best-selling girl groups and one of Britain's biggest selling acts.

In May 2021, her documentary, Leigh-Anne: Race, Pop & Power, was released on BBC iPlayer and BBC One to critical acclaim. It was centred around racial issues and colourism in the music industry and detailed her own personal experiences.[25] It received a nomination for Best Authored Documentary at the 26th National Television Awards, and also won Documentary of the Year at the Visionary Honours Awards, Media Progress Moment at the Ethnicity Awards, and Best Documentary at the I Talk Telly Awards.[26] In December 2021, the group announced they would be going on a hiatus to allow its members to pursue solo projects.[27] That same month, she made her acting debut in the film Boxing Day, which she also recorded original music for. Pinnock Productions contributed to the production of the film.[28][29]

Pinnock was attacked at a restaurant in London by a male customer in 2016.[59] In February 2017, while performing with Little Mix as an opening act for Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman Tour, she suffered a burn backstage at one of their gigs.[60]

[edit]

Activism and public image

[edit]

Pinnock is noted for her social justice advocacy; she speaks on issues including the Black Lives Matter movement, racial equality, colorism, feminism, and racism in the UK. To this end, she has shared her own experiences with racism as a child, as well as in the music industry. Early into her career, she refrained from discussing about these subjects over fears she would offend people and lose fans.[70] In an interview with Glamour magazine, she spoke about her experiences with race and how she felt "invisible" for the first three years as the only black girl in Little Mix, while at the same time acknowledging her own privilege as a light-skinned, mixed-race woman.[70][71]

"My reality was feeling lonely while touring predominantly to white countries. I sang to fans who don't see me or hear me or cheer me on. My reality is feeling anxious before fan events and signings because I always feel like I'm the least favoured. My reality is constantly feeling like I have to work 10 times harder and longer to mark my place in the group, because my talent alone isn't enough. My reality is all the times I felt invisible within my group. Part of me is fully aware that my experience would have been even harder to deal with had I been dark-skinned. Our reality is no matter how far you think you've come, racism exists. — Pinnock on the racism she has experienced throughout her career.[72]

In 2019, Pinnock attended Pride in London, marching alongside charity organisations Mermaids, Stonewall, and Black Pride, to advocate for trans and LGBTQ rights.[73] She also attended the Black Lives Matter protests in London, and she has spoken out about the murders of African-Americans George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by American police.[74]

In 2019, Pinnock (who is also known for her charity work), as well as other British celebrities, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Comic Relief's Red Nose Day.[75] In 2021, in partnership with her fiancé and sister Sairah, she launched a charity called The Black Fund, which supports existing charities and groups who deliver support to the black community, including financial support.[76][77] In 2022, the charity co-funded two scholarships for young creative black leaders to expand their visions in Tokyo.[78]

In July 2023, Pinnock was awarded an honorary doctorate from Buckinghamshire New University in recognition of her anti-racism and racial equality work.[79]
