British powerhouse Courtney Hadwin has shocked fans with her meteoric rise, amassing an impressive net worth of $3 million by the age of 21.

The singer first captured global attention at just 13 with her Janis Joplin-inspired audition on America’s Got Talent, a performance that went viral and launched her international career. Known for her raw, soulful voice and fearless stage presence, Hadwin has steadily transformed from a teenage phenom into a fully realized artist with a clear vision.

While the music industry initially attempted to “pop-ify” her sound, Hadwin took a step back, writing and refining her artistry on her own terms

The result is her long-awaited debut album, Little Miss Jagged, a bold, soulful record that blends rock, soul, and coming-of-age storytelling. Produced alongside acclaimed producer Kevin Bowe—who has worked with Etta James, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Steve Van Zandt—the album showcases Hadwin’s versatility and emotional honesty.

The lead track, “Electric,” bursts with funk-fueled energy, combining driving guitars and a confident strut to signal Hadwin’s evolution from viral sensation to a mature artist in her twenties.

Hadwin describes the album as “the most personal I’ve ever been in my songwriting… the story so far,” with themes exploring both survival and self-determination.
