Jessie J Biography

Jessie J was born Jessica Ellen Cornish in 1988 in London, England. As a child, Jessie attended a performing arts school and began performing on London’s West End stage when she was only eleven years old. In her mid teens, she began studies at the BRIT School, alongside classmate Adele, and even joined her first all-girl performing group before graduation.  Shortly after, her songwriting talents garnered the attention of Sony publishing.

With Sony, Jessie J began her career writing for such notable artists as Miley Cyrus and Chris Brown, but she had yet to sign her own recording contract as a vocalist. A representative from Lava Records eventually viewed one of her performances on her MySpace page and signed her to the label. Jessie began work on her debut album, but it would be another few years before it was released. The first two singles, “Do It Like a Dude” and “Price Tag” arrived prior to its release, and both charted before her debut, Who You Are, was released in February of 2011.

Who You Are spawned a series of hit singles for Jessie J, including “Nobody’s Perfect,” “Who’s Laughing Now,” “Domino,” “Who You Are,” and “LaserLight,” and launched a series of tours for Jessie: Stand Up Tour (2011), Heartbeat Tour (2011-2012), and Nice to Meet You Tour (2013.) Currently, Jessie J is working on her next studio album and has plans for its release in the near future.
