Early Life
Coburn was born in Great Dunmow, Essex. Coming from a musical family, with her mother once working as a backing singer for bands Duran Duran and The The, Coburn learned to play the guitar and piano when she was six-years-old. On Boxing Day 2007, Coburn played a song she had been writing called "Hurt" to family and friends. A friend of her mother's, Matthew Marston, heard the song and invited her to his home studio to record it. Coburn and Marston later wrote together on her debut album, Rush.
After picking up widespread promotional coverage in the media from The Times, the BBC, and The Guardian as a young artist to watch for in 2010, Coburn was signed to a record company; She is managed by Empire, and signed to Jive, a subsidiary of Sony Records. There was reportedly a 'bidding-war' to get Coburn to sign up to a record company. She mainly uses social networking websites to broadcast her music, such as MySpace where she posts demos and her YouTube channel where the video for her song "Daisy Dares You" and "Rosie" can be found.
Coburn's first single, Number One Enemy, featured British rapper Chipmunk and reached the top 20 in the UK.
