## Career

Alessandra Rose Jones was born on 27 October 2002 in Derby in the East Midlands and grew up on her mother's new wave and her father's country. She started writing angsty poetry when she was 13 and read the subject at a London university. She began uploading videos to YouTube when she was 13 and then on an Instagram account specifically set up so that she could block her entire year group. She taught herself production towards the end of lockdown on a cracked version of Logic Pro X and a very old Mac and released her debut single, the self-written and self-produced "Say Ur Mine", in June 2023. She followed this in October with "Hate This Part", a track about leaving her hometown, before playing her first show, a support slot for Ella Jane. In January 2024, she released a third track, "Eat Me Alive", an alt-pop song. By April and July, she had also released the single "Break Me" and the EP Rumination As Ritual; the latter included "Crush!", a track involving fantasies about a crush. That August, she supported Noah Kahan on the Belfast date of his 2024 tour.
In September 2024, she released "Oh My", an alt-pop song about being nervous to open up to a new partner. The following month, she announced her second EP, For Your Validation, and released "Imsochillandcool", a track about feelings she had about an ex-partner who had entered a new relationship, alongside a video. A further single, "Pretty World", was written during her first few live shows about what she felt immediately after finishing a gig, and was released in December 2024. That month, she signed to Warner Chappell Music and was listed on Ticketmaster's Breakthrough 2025 list alongside Myles Smith, Orla Gartland, Sammy Virji, Sienna Spiro, and Swim School, who described her works as indie pop. In January 2025, she released "Start All Over", a track about wanting a crush to make the first move and the fourth single from For Your Validation, followed by "Don't Ask Questions". She also released For Your Validation that month, which was reviewed positively by Dork and UCLA Radio and contained all five singles and "IKYK". To celebrate its release, she invited a random small group of fans and stan accounts to a listening party. In February, it was announced that she would support Tate McRae for 20 dates on her Miss Possessive Tour.

## Artistry

Rishi Shah of NME described her as the "Derbyshire Olivia Rodrigo", while Emily Savage of DIY wrote that her vocals "recall a sound that lies somewhere between Gracie Abrams and Nieve Ella" and Jenessa Williams of The Forty-Five described "Pretty World" as a combination of "country, baroque-pop and the melodramatics of emo". Both Rumination As Ritual and For Your Validation were written about Jones's OCD, with the former also exploring her tendency to ruminate and the latter exploring feelings of wanting to be told she is normal. In a January 2025 interview with Stephen Loftin of Dork, who described her works as pop rock, she stated that she was inspired to be open about her condition by Gracie Abrams, who had been similarly candid about hers, having discovered her in 2016 via Instagram Explore. The visuals for Rumination As Ritual were inspired by The Virgin Suicides.
Growing up, Jones was also a fan of quirky lyrics, such as those by Kate Bush and Lorde, of "artists who love bridges and lengthy, lyrical songs" such as Taylor Swift, and of Chappell Roan. Jones's social media bios have made use of the phrase "If people don’t want me to write songs about them, they shouldn’t do bad things", a quote Swift prefaced performances of "Forever & Always" with during her Fearless Tour. In an April 2024 interview with Laura Molloy of NME, she stated that she was also "heavily influenced" by the girl power-imbued teen pop that had been popular in the 2000s and Molloy wrote of Jones that she was "keen to embrace the messiness inherent to girlhood through confessional, high-octane pop anthems". She was a member of Loud LDN in July 2023.
