Career

Her Start on The X Factor

Bea Miller was a contestant on the second season of The X Factor in 2012. She finished in ninth place. She was eliminated after a "sing-off" against another contestant, CeCe Frey. However, Bea actually received more votes from the public, meaning she would have been saved if the decision had gone to a tie-breaker.

Here are some of the songs Bea performed on the show:

Signing a Record Deal and First Album

On April 11, 2013, it was announced that Bea Miller signed with Syco Music and Hollywood Records. This was a special deal because it was the first time these two labels worked together. After The X Factor, she started using the name Bea Miller instead of Beatrice Annika Miller.

Bea released her first full album, Not an Apology, on July 24, 2015. It reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200 chart. She also joined Fifth Harmony's The Reflection Tour as an opening act in the summer of 2015.
