Biography

Jodie Aysha Henderson (born 22 November 1988 in Leeds, England) is a British singer and songwriter. Henderson had her first taste of success at the age of 18 when her song "Heartbroken", which she wrote when she was 14 about her older sister who at the time was heartbroken, was remixed by producer T2. "Heartbroken" reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart, only to be held off the top spot by X Factor winner Leona Lewis. "Heartbroken" remained on the number 2 spot for five consistent weeks and enjoyed 46 weeks in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart, and also became the most requested track ever on BBC Radio 1Xtra.[citation needed] Henderson is one of the youngest and first UK female artists of her generation to have her first single release become an equally international success when "Heartbroken" peaked at number 10 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart. She then went on to write another catchy follow-up, titled "So Typical La La La" which became another underground smash hit and peaked in the top 10 of the Music Weeks Commercial Pop Chart.[citation needed] Following her success, she then went on to become a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing UK.
