Dionne Mitchell is a student of 26 years in London and lives with his mother and father. She has four brothers and two sisters, but she is the youngest child with the eldest aged 40 years.
Dionne sang for six years after he joined a theater company and performing in a play. After the show had ended his career as the company asked him to stay. She also played in clubs and as a vocalist in concerts.
Music has always been his passion, but she tried to follow the "safer" way of studies and studies in psychology, but she knew that this was not what she really wanted to do. Do not follow her dreams caused him to suffer from depression and decided she should pursue her ambition to make it in the music industry.
However, she did not audition for the previous series of The X Factor because she was too scared, but his family harassed her to go, she decided to try his luck. Dionne biggest downfall is the fear of being put in place to criticism and failure, reaching the last 12 is both its greatest success and the challenge of his fledgling musical career.
Dionne cites his musical influences as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Mariah Carey and auditioned in London with the wife of Franklin "natural". Simon Cowell was not initially impressed and said: "overdressed, not a good song choice, but yes," while Louis Walsh was also not entirely convinced when he said: "on the fence but I think so" . Sharon Osbourne shared the same feelings with Louis when she said "on the fence. Strong voice - yes.
When Dionne discovered Sharon was to be her mentor, she was worried and even cried because she thought she was the least positive of the three judges on his vocal ability. Dionne performed The Beatles "Come Together" on the first day of training camp and had nothing to fear from Sharon, who believed she had a great personality.
In J. Dionne performed Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It", but stopped midway due to nerves. It was five minutes to recover, but during that time, she burst into tears. Sharon and his board were disappointed by the fact that she seemed to be afraid to perform before an audience.
Dionne back, finished the song and Sharon left impressed. However, his main concern whether it could play in front of the studio audience remained. Another Judge Mark loved his voice, but also reservations about its ability to cope under pressure.
