Leigh-Anne Pinnock of Little Mix has signed a contract with Tap Music. The twenty-nine-year-old took to Twitter to confirm the deal and tease upcoming solo projects.

Pinnock assured fans that she is not leaving Little Mix and will continue to be part of the group alongside any solo ventures. Tap Music represents stars such as Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey, and Ellie Goulding. Pinnock is therefore in good company with the agency that will represent Pinnock for her solo work across music, film, and TV. Tap Music will work with Modest Management, who will continue to oversee Pinnock’s work as part of Little Mix. Tap Music announced the deal with the songstress on their social media.
This news comes after former member Jesy Nelson recently teased possible solo music on the way. The singer left the group last December after nine years writing that being in the band had “taken a toll” on her mental health. The remaining members of Little Mix have shown their support of Jesy’s decision saying in a statement: “This is an incredibly sad time for all of us, but we are fully supportive of Jesy. We love her very much and agree that it is so important that she does what is right for her mental health and wellbeing.” Little Mix continues as a trio with Pinnock alongside Jade Thirwall and Perrie Edwards. Details regarding Pinnock’s first solo release are yet to be confirmed.
Little Mix have most recently climbed the singles charts with their song Sweet Melody. You can watch the video below.
