Jorja Smith was working at Starbucks when she posted her first single, Blue Lights, onto Sound Cloud. The song is a semi-autobiographical look at her childhood in Walsall in the West Midlands – referencing the number four bus she used to catch home, and the song Shook One by Mobb Deep, which she used to mime in her bedroom. Within a week, it had racked up 100,000 plays, earning recognition from Drake, Stormzy and Skrillex.
