Career
City Girls
In 2007, Charlesworth took part in the auditions with the producers Kim Glover and Samantha Forrest to become a member of a new girl group.[1] Charlesworth was chosen to become a member of the "City Girls" (initially called "Stiletto"). The group was formed by Charlesworth and other three girls: Sheena Rowe, Sophie Leniston and Rebecca Doran. City Girls released their first single "O.M.G." in August 2008.[2] The single was written by Darren Monson, Jay Raser and Sheena Rowe, and was produced by Pete Hammond and Jay Raser. The single reached number 3 in the UK Music Week Pop/Club Charts and reached #40 in the Bulgarian chart. The group started a promotional tour including a number of performances, appearances on television, radio and newspapers. The song was used as the soundtrack of the video game, Imagine Girl Band.[3] In the beginning of 2009, Charlesworth and Doran left the group and were replaced by Claudia Evans.

In 2009, Charlesworth was also a member of a vocal group called "BVG". They did a number of gigs but they did not release recording material.[4]
Parade
In 2010, she became a member of the new British girl group Parade, featuring Jessica Agombar, Emily Biggs, Bianca Claxton and Lauren Deegan.[5] Their debut single "Louder" was released on 13 March 2011, which consequently entered in the UK Singles Chart at number 10,[6] and in the Irish Singles Chart at number 41.
