Tulisa Contostavlos (born July 13, 1988) is a British singer-songwriter and actress, better known by her stage name Tulisa. She is best known for being a member of the Camden-based R&B trio N-Dubz, with her cousin Dino “Dappy” Contostavlos and their friend Richard “Fazer” Rawson. Tulisa was born on 13 July 1988, in Camden Town, North London to Ann Byrne (who was formerly a member of 80’s band Jeep, with her three sisters, before Tulisa was born) and Steve (Platon) Contostavlos (also part of Mungo Jerry). Tulisa was an only child and lived with her parents near to the other N-Dubz members Dappy and Fazer. Her parents separated when she was nine years old. She became a carer for her mother who was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder when Tulisa was a baby. She grew up caring for her mother. Tulisa had an upbringing living in a typically bad council estate and experienced a lot as a teenager: violence, depression, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, Anorexia Nervosa, mental health issues, financial difficulties and bullying. She started her secondary education at La Sainte Union Catholic Secondary School for girls, but at thirteen she was withdrawn and “on the edge of suicide”. She revealed that she twice tried to kill herself as a teenager and also used to self-harm to try and help her cope with everything she was going through. With support from her uncle and N-Dubz’s former manager Byron Contostavlos she then tried to put her life back on track and at fourteen years old enrolled in the same school as Dappy and Fazer, Haverstock Secondary School, which they had been attending since they were twelve, later going to Quintin Kynaston School in Westminster. She described her school experience on Twitter as, “really hard, but I’m not sad about my life. Everything happens for a reason and I wouldn’t take back one bad thing, because it’s made me who I am and look at me now, how could I complain?”
