Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall signs solo deal with RCA Records and joins Harry Styles' management team

Jade Thirlwall has officially signed a solo record deal with RCA Records. 

The Little Mix member will work with both RCA's UK and US teams to launch her international solo career. She's also signed with Harry Styles' management team Full Stop for worldwide representation. 

A founding member of Little Mix, Jade becomes the third member to sign a solo deal - Jesy Nelson, who left the group in 2020, has a deal with Universal's Polydor, while earlier this year it was announced Leigh-Ann Pinnock had joined the team at Warner. Fourth member Perrie has begun recording her own solo material, but details of any record deals she's signed have yet to be released. 

In recent years, Jade has emerged as one of the primary songwriters in Little Mix alongside Leigh-Ann; they helped pen the majority of the group's last album, Confetti, and has cut songs for Britney Spears, Pose star Billy Porter and K-pop group Twice.
