Charli XCX
Bio
Charlotte Emma Aitchison, known professionally as Charli XCX, began writing songs at age 14 and performing at underground raves in London, setting the stage for a career defined by futuristic, hyperpop-influenced boundary-pushing. She first gained attention with the viral mixtapes *14* (2008) and Heartbreaks and Earthquakes (2012) before achieving international stardom as the featured vocalist on Icona Pop's "I Love It" (2012) and co-writing and appearing on Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" (2014), both of which reached No. 1 on the UK and US charts. Her sophomore album Sucker (2014) spawned the punk-pop anthem "Boom Clap" and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package. Over the next decade, Charli evolved into a cult icon and critical darling through a series of experimental projects, including the mixtapes Number 1 Angel (2017) and Pop 2 (2017), as well as the hyperpop landmark Charli (2019) featuring collaborators like Troye Sivan and Kim Petras. In 2024, she achieved her most triumphant commercial and critical success with Brat, a chaotic, club-ready album that dominated year-end lists, spawned the "Brat summer" cultural movement, and earned multiple Grammy nominations. Known for her fiercely loyal fanbase ("Angels"), her songwriting prowess for other artists (Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello), and her status as the godmother of hyperpop, Charli XCX has redefined pop music as a space for experimentation, vulnerability, and unapologetic hedonism.
