Jess Glynne Imagines

The Early Years

I, as the author, will only include one chapter for the early years and then jump to when her career starts because I know you all want to get to the good parts! ;) SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the beginning, you knew Jess was the one. It all started in Hampstead, London. Your forever love was born on October 20, 1989. You met at Rhodes Avenue Primary School.

You started as two new kids. Then you became friends, then best friends. You got up to no good all around town, and had a blast. Jess was always the held back one, the one who reasoned with you before you did something really stupid.

After Rhodes Avenue, you went to Fortismere school. Jess wasn't all that good at academics, and to be honest, neither were you. Your main difference was that she wanted to be a singer/songwriter and you wanted to be a backup singer. Specifically, Jess' backup singer.

You both went your own ways in the music industry. Jess didn't want to go the college path at first, and went for a job right away. She kind of jumped from place to place. First it was Branda's Boutique, then Flash Fitness, and then Copper Cuts.

You, on the other hand, went for restaurant jobs. Like your future lover, you jumped from job to job. You were reluctant to go to college, but eventually you decided that in order for your dream of becoming a backup singer to come true, you had to go to music school.

Apparently Jess thought the same thing, and she went to East London College, Access to Music London. That was where she found Jin Jin and Blessed Beats, future collaborators. She also attended Westminster University. One of Jess' and Jin Jin's pieces caught the attention of Black Butter Records, and they signed a publishing deal. Then, when she was working at her job in brand management at a drinks company, she signed a deal with Atlantic Records.

That was also when she started having drug/drinking problems. You started working on her minor addictions, and eventually she learned to control the cravings. Helping Jess with her drinking also kept you from doing it and setting a bad example.

So now that we've got the early years down, we can get on with the story, and this won't sound like a boring biography anymore...
