But I respect the fact she carried me for all those months, but when it comes to my mum Lil...she's a great role model in everything she does."[10]

As a teenager Misha B attended Trinity C.E. High School in Hulme,[11] where she played football for the Manchester United under-16s.[12] Her first entry into a music career came when she began writing poetry, moved on to rapping and then progressed to singing.[13] Misha B began to take her vocals abilities more seriously aged fourteen describing music as her only outlet[14] and singing assisting her self-understanding.[15] In 2010 she started a Vocal Artist course at the Manchester Music Base,[16] at Trafford College in Manchester.[17] There, she was coached by Leanne Brown, who had a hit with "Flowers" in 2000 as part of UK garage duo Sweet Female Attitude.[18] Misha B entered the Manchester open mic circuit aged eighteen, and busked outside Manchester's Arndale Centre.[19]

Misha B's breakthrough into the music industry came following her appearance on the eighth series of The X Factor. In her first audition, she sang Aretha Franklin's cover of "Respect".[20] The Voice recounted her performance as being "confident" and "show-stopping", and as a promising sign of Misha B's future in the competition.[20] In a review of the series, The Daily Telegraph picked her performance of "Rolling in the Deep"(Adele) as one of the highlights of the series, saying she "oozed star quality from the start... Like a 21st century Grace Jones or an urban Lady Gaga, the teenager seemed like a proper pop star already."[21]

Both later apologised. The other two panel members and several contestants defended Misha B during and after the show. Judge Gary Barlow later said he believed the wrongful allegations had ended Misha B's chances of winning the competition.[22]

The Daily Telegraph and bluesandsoul.com identified Misha B as one of the most gifted singers[23][24] and BBC 1xtra regarded her as one of the more credible artists to emerge from the show, a "break from the traditional X Factor contestant" and that Misha B could be noted for her "show-stopping performances".[25] In reference to her time on the show, Misha B spoke to grammy.com in 2013, saying "I experienced not only highs but my share of lows on The X Factor, but it has set me up with the thick skin needed for this industry... I will always be grateful for my time on the show. I mean, it got me to where I needed to be."[14]
