Tulisa Contostavlos is the most remarkable new star in the country
today. She was an eleven-year-old schoolgirl when her Uncle Byron
offered her GBP20 to be the singer in a new band with son Dappy and
his friend Fazer. She held out for GBP50 and started on a
rollercoaster ride to fame that led to her becoming an 'overnight'
sensation on The X Factor. Tulisa is the first biography of a girl
determined to leave behind a life in which underage sex, smoking
weed, drinking cider and bullying were the norm. Her love of music
and an unswerving desire to make money, buy a house of her own and
drive a sports car provided her with the incentive to escape. The
UK's leading celebrity biographer, Sean Smith, has discovered that
behind the tough exterior and dazzling smile is a funny, loyal and
sensitive young woman. He has travelled to the leafy streets of
fashionable Belsize Park in North West London to uncover the truth
about her upbringing, her relationship with her musician father,
who left home when she was nine, and the mother who abandoned a
singing career because of ongoing mental health problems, and whom
Tulisa says she loves 'with all my heart.' He tells the story of
N-Dubz and their mentor 'Uncle B', who tragically died on the
threshold of their success. They rose to become one of the most
popular bands in the UK without ever capturing a mainstream
audience, but their American adventure ended in disappointment.
Tulisa describes her failed love affairs, her mercurial
relationship with controversial cousin Dappy, her bond with
sometime boyfriend Fazer and a cast of characters including
Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder and Mr Hudson, who make up the urban music
scene she embraced. The book relives her X Factor triumph as mentor
to the winners Little Mix, her feud with fellow judge Kelly
Rowland, her fashion triumphs and disasters and her brave response
to the online release of a sex tape. Tulisa is the gripping and
inspirational story of how a lonely and bullied young girl
transformed herself into 'The Female Boss' - a role model for a
generation.
