But her passion for music started long before the world took notice. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved singing from a very early age,\u201d she reflected. \u201cBy the time I was 10 or 11, I just knew music had to be part of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"oMCdInIr\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42645 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/newsflash24h.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/courtney-hadwin-little-miss-jagged-dna-album-child-lable.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsflash24h.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/courtney-hadwin-little-miss-jagged-dna-album-child-lable.jpg 813w, https:\/\/newsflash24h.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/courtney-hadwin-little-miss-jagged-dna-album-child-lable-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newsflash24h.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/courtney-hadwin-little-miss-jagged-dna-album-child-lable-768x415.jpg 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"813\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hadwin poured herself into her craft, choosing late-night rehearsals over after-school playtime. Inspired by the raw showmanship of icons like Little Richard, Tina Turner, and James Brown, she found her sound through YouTube rabbit holes and hours of practice. That fusion of grit, soul, and rock \u2018n\u2019 roll would later become her trademark on AGT.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/itsezbreezy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_1102-1024x1008.jpeg\" alt=\"COURTNEY HADWIN ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM 'LITTLE MISS JAGGED' TO BE RELEASED  ON 12TH SEPTEMBER FEATURING THE NEW SINGLE 'YOU ONLY LOVE ME WHEN I LIE' -  ITSEZBREEZY International Music Blog\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Her decision to audition for America\u2019s Got Talent was driven by a belief that American audiences would better connect with her unfiltered style. \u201cI knew people in America would understand me and my music more than countries used to \u2018bubblegum pop,\u2019\u201d she said. The risk paid off: not only did she gain global recognition, but she also discovered a fiercely loyal fan base that continues to follow her journey.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/TpTya-Oe3gc\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Courtney Hadwin Premiere: 'You Only Love Me When I Lie' Video Ahead of  Debut Album - FAULT Magazine\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Life after AGT, however, has been both empowering and challenging. Now nearing 21, Hadwin is determined to shed the \u201cchild star\u201d label. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to show the world that I\u2019m not just that shy 13-year-old anymore,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI\u2019m a grown woman with big feelings and I\u2019m more than just a one-trick pony.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/artist\/2pQIRauKVBZQxClh5xMptX?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"100%\" data-origheight=\"352\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Her post-AGT music has been deeply personal. Songs like \u201cDie and Stay Pretty\u201d allowed her to tap into vulnerable territory, writing lyrics that reflect real emotional experiences. That raw honesty continues with her upcoming album Little Miss Jagged, which she describes as \u201crough around the edges\u201d and proudly unconventional. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t fit in one column. You\u2019ll either hate it or love it but it\u2019s completely me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/noctismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image00004-770x433.jpeg\" alt=\"Introducing 'LITTLE MISS JAGGED' Courtney Hadwin \u2013 noctismag.com\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Her new single \u201cD.N.A\u201d leans into this sense of fun and freedom. A vibrant track filled with wit and an infectious beat, it explores the intense, often irrational feelings that come with infatuation but with a twist of cheeky humor. It\u2019s an anthem that captures both Hadwin\u2019s emotional depth and her playful defiance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the video below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Courtney Hadwin - D.N.A (Official Visualiser)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bIil-kdN1B4?feature=oembed\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"790\" data-origheight=\"444\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With Little Miss Jagged slated for release in September, fans can also look forward to seeing Hadwin on stage once again.
