When she was nine years old, she played the part of Eva Lauren in rags-to-riches musical Her Benny at Liverpool Empire Theatre. And at eleven years old, she won the national Teeny Bopper Talent Show and competed against hundreds at festival4stars where she was crowned the winner. She has studied drama at Scream Theatre School, Blackpool. Beth also trains her singing with top vocal coach Zoë Tyler, piano with concert pianist Neil Oldham-Campbell and drama with Seren Mistery. [2]

She has also played the main role of Aladdin, at the Floral Pavilion's 2011 production of Aladdin.

Crossley auditioned for the 2014 series of The Voice UK , in the episode shown on 18 January 2014, and made it through it to the Battle Rounds but did not progress. [3]
