Jesy Nelson signs solo deal with global management firm...

Jesy Nelson has signed a solo deal with the global management firm YMU three months after officially leaving Little Mix. In a statement to Music Week, Jesy said: "I am so excited to join YMU and can't wait to start my next chapter."

It is now believed Jesy is ready to launch her solo career. Despite hitting the studio recently, she's no longer with RCA and looks to have departed the Sony umbrella altogether. Jesy originally left Little Mix because the pressure of fame was playing havoc with her mental health. She needed a break. A short-lived one by the looks of it. Jesy's vocals are distinct. However, they are better suited for harmonies. Limitations in her vocal prowess and marketability will present challenges required to prove she has what it takes to make it on her own. Good luck to her.
