Early life and education
Charli XCX was born in Cambridge, England on August 2, 1992. Her father is an entrepreneur named Jon Aitchison, while her mother Shameera is a former nurse and flight attendant who was born and raised in Uganda.
She grew up in Starhill, Essex, attending a local primary school called Bishop’s Stretford. At the age of 14, she discovered her passion for music, especially pop music, and began writing songs.
Charli XCX borrowed money from her parents to finance the release of her first album when she was 14. Her parents were very supportive and loaned her the money so she could continue her career.
When she began posting short videos of songs on her MySpace page, she came to the attention of a promoter in east London, who invited her to perform regularly.
Profession
Charli XCX signed with Asylum Records in 2010, fresh off her East London Raven scene. Unlike her previous career as a stage performer, she was officially signed to Asylum Records.
She had some difficulty getting signed; she said she felt a little “lost” because she didn’t know whether she should continue with the pop music genre or turn to rap for the first time in her life.
Charli XCX has been singing since she was 14, so she thinks she might be too young to understand the type of music that’s best for her.
However, things changed when she moved to Los Angeles and met an American producer named Ariel Rechtshaid, for whom she wrote the song “Stay Away”.
It is said that after writing this song, Charli XCX rediscovered herself and her love for pop music. This song made everything fall into place.
