During her tenure at the school, Mai appeared on series 11 of the X Factor as part of a trio called ‘Arize’, but they ended up parting ways not long after. Her singing career began in 2014 when she was studying at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute. Mai ultimately moved to New York City when she was just 12 and graduated from high school in Queens before moving back to the UK. The 26-year-old was born in London, England in 1994 to a Jamaican mother and an Irish father. Ella Mai was already a well-known name across the music industry long before she met Tatum.
