Career
In February 2013, it was announced that Plummer, alongside Shereen Cutkelvin, Amira McCarthy, and Asami Zdrenka made the line-up of new British girl group Neon Jungle and began recording material in the studio.[3][4] They chose the name Neon Jungle, which was derived from their song "Welcome to the Jungle" and to reflect that the members were "all individual and quite different".[5] According to Plummer, "it’s like neon is bold, bright, strong individual characters and then the jungle part is the madness".[6]
In August 2013, Neon Jungle released their debut single "Trouble", which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 12 and reached the top 10 on the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart.[7]
In October 2013, Plummer debuted as actress in British science fantasy television series Wizards vs Aliens as Chloe Martin[8] and supported Jessie J on select dates of her Alive Tour as part of Neon Jungle.
