essie J is not just a great pop artist...or a great R&B artist, or even a great 
hip-hop artist. The British-born, Essex-bred vocalist is malleable enough to 
encompass several genres, while displaying vocals reminiscent of Motown-era 
greats. Although she may not be able to play the piano, Jessie is armed with 
the chops to blow people away, and the song-writing skills to pen a worldwide 
hit. After one listen, it's clear the extraordinary Jessie J stands alone. For 
Jessie, her Lava/Universal Republic debut album, WHO YOU ARE, showcases 
the skills of a gifted lyricist while highlighting an unforgettable journey. While 
Jessie's road to success hasn't always been easy, she's quick to emphasize 
the normalcy of her childhood. Growing up the youngest of three children, 
Jessie's mother was a nursery school teacher and her father a social worker. 
"My family is very creative, but no one in my family sings... I was the only 
one who put my life to a melody..." For Jessie, melody has been the driving 
force behind her successful career as a singer/songwriter. At 17, Jessie 
wrote her first song "Big White Room." The song was inspired by real life 
events--specifically the time she was hospitalized at 11-years-old while 
sharing a room with a younger boy who sadly lost his life. "I knew I wanted to 
write a song about that experience," she divulges. The song has followed 
Jessie J throughout her career, and it remains a YouTube and crowd favorite 
when she performs it live. Her YouTube rendition has been viewed nearly 
300,000 times and has garnered over 50 covers organically without radio 
airplay. "'Big White Room' is my comfort blanket, and I'm so happy that 
people can personalize the meaning of the song..." states Jessie. Around the 
same time, Jessie J was signed to a short-lived independent label deal. She 
toured with various high-profile artists including Macy Gray, Sugarbabes, Girls 
Aloud, Chris Brown, Jools Holland, Cyndi Lauper and Taio Cruz. While 
showcasing her diva-infused voice and infectious songs, she had the freedom 
to explore her sound and a chance to teach herself how to adapt to diverse 
audiences. "I never had a band. It was me, my CD, my heels and a huge 
stage to fill. I loved that I had no one and nothing to hide behind..." The label 
eventually went bankrupt and closed its doors. Still armed with a SONY ATV 
publishing deal, Jessie continued to hone her writing skills. It wasn't long 
before Jessie had opportunities thrown at her by the dozen. One of her 
songs, "Sexy Silk," was selected by NIVEA for a worldwide campaign. "I 
remember seeing the ad at the cinema and wanting to tell everyone, 'That's 
me! That's me!" In the last few years, Jessie has penned songs for the likes 
of Chris Brown and Lisa Lois the Holland X Factor winner. Her life also inspired 
the melody of a major hit record, "Party in the USA," sung and performed by 
Miley Cyrus. "When Dr. Luke texted me saying my song was #1 on iTunes, I 
thought it was a joke!" she laughs. Now, Jessie's signed worldwide to 
Universal Music Group. In the US, she inked a deal with Lava/Universal 
Republic Records and Island Records in the UK. "I feel like my album is an 
example of what exists in the world of music right now. It's like my album is an 
iPod... it's like when you go clubbing these days, you don't have a pop room 
and a separate R&B room, they're all together. People just appreciate great 
music..." The title track and 1st single, "Who You Are" is about a point in 
Jessie's career where the singer's aspirations were hanging on a thread. "The 
most important thing in life is to be happy, but everything had become too 
'business' and sterile. I really thought I was going to quit--not music, but the 
music industry...it wasn't easy," Jessie states. "I was really down, but when 
I'm down, I write a song about it." Not all of Jessie J's songs are built around 
hardship. Much like Jessie herself, a lot of songs on WHO YOU ARE, are of 
the fun, upbeat variety she displayed in previous songs such as, "Party in the 
USA." Other songs that have had immense reactions on YouTube include 
"Rainbow," "Stand Up" and "Whose Laughing Now"--all written about personal 
times in her life. Mix a bit of Rihanna with Gwen Stefani, add the charisma of 
Pink, and you will start to get an idea of what kind of girl Jessie J is. As much 
as she can be a voice for the hard times, those soulful, Aretha Franklin-esque 
vocals can also soundtrack the best of times too. Take the Dr. Luke (Katy 
Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus) produced song "Price Tag"--an upbeat, 
energetic dance number that highlights Jessie's booming voice and can still 
stand out amidst glossy production. There's also the live staple, "Mamma 
Knows Best," which showcases her hair-raising range and is an extremely 
funky ode to her loving parents. "My mom and dad always know best. I hate 
to admit that sometimes, but the song says it all. I base my confidence on 
purity and I want to be a role model... I want people to know that I am an 
unedited version of myself. I plan to expose the good and the bad to show 
that life is about being WHO YOU ARE..."
