Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born August 2, 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer, songwriter, and actress. She began her career by posting songs on MySpace, where a promoter involved in the East London rave scene discovered her work and later invited to perform at their illegal warehouse parties. Signing to Asylum Records in 2010, her breakthrough came in 2012, when she was featured on Icona Pop's single "I Love It", which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and received global success.
Despite initial commercial failure with her debut studio album, True Romance, she found success again in 2014 after featuring on Iggy Azalea's hit single "Fancy" and releasing "Boom Clap", which became her first solo top-ten single in the US. It preceded her second studio album, Sucker, which peaked at number twenty-six on the Billboard 200.
In addition to her solo work, she has co-written songs for other artists, including Iggy Azalea's "Beg for It", Selena Gomez's "Same Old Love", Blondie's "Tonight", Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's "Señorita", and Sigala and Rita Ora's "You for Me".
One of Kesha's demos, "Victimless Crime", was given to Charli, but she ended up not releasing it. In 2016, Charli presented the Trailblazer Award to Kesha during the Billboard Women in Music Awards.
| “ | She’s always been iconic to me, the stuff her and SOPHIE were doing was groundbreaking. I’ve been such a fan of her and her attitude and her voice and her songwriting forever, but then to watch her take it to, like, global dominance was really exciting because I feel like we have similar ethos in our soul. She’s a little punk, and she doesn’t give a fuck, and she’s been doing this for a long time. She’s sick of doing it everybody else’s way which I find so inspiring. | ” |
