Mini bio
How it started.
Cher grew up in Malvern, Worcestershire, and performed at holiday camps before The X Factor. Her 2010 audition with Turn My Swag On introduced her mix of singing and rap to a national audience. She finished fourth and went on to sign with Syco in the UK and Epic in the US.
The songs fans found her through.
Swagger Jagger reached No. 1 in the UK in 2011, followed by the debut album Sticks + Stones. Want U Back became her US breakthrough, reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her second album, Sorry I’m Late, followed in 2014, with songs including Sirens and I Wish.
A more personal voice.
In her 2014 TIME interview, Cher described wanting fans to hear music she had chosen for herself. Sorry I’m Late explored a more vulnerable side of her singing. Later singles included None of My Business, M.I.A. and Lost.
Where she is now.
Cher returned with Head Down and Green Light in 2025. She told BBC Newsbeat that Head Down let her work through feelings about her early career. In 2026 she collaborated with Fuzion on Sweet Devotion and Niall T on Time Feels Right.
