The Red One To Watch!! Jessie J

Jessie J is a twenty two year old singer songwriter from Essex. She is signed on both sides of the Atlantic to Island Records in the UK and Lava records in the US. Singing and dancing on stage from the age of 11 and studying at the BRIT school from the age of sixteen Jessie J clearly has music in her blood. Her past includes a brief stint with a girl group as well as writing for an array of successful artists such as Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera.

I’ve been on YouTube this afternoon trailing through the many uploads of Jessie J singing her lungs out. This female vocalist really excites me. She is fresh, funky and fantastically talented. She confesses she “cannot mime” and it would be an outrage for such a talented singer to demean herself by doing so. Type Jessie J into you tube and you will be bombarded with videos from home made clips, to live performances and music videos. She is a diverse pop artist, with a unique soulful sound.

‘Do It Like A Dude’ was released on the 21st of November and is an amazing up beat, rocky, slightly controversial track. Just how we like it Jessie! Jessie J originally wrote the song for Rihanna and we can see why. But Jessie decided to keep it for herself and we are glad. It is a brilliant debut single and the video is just as hot.

She has already been announced as MTV’s top tip for 2011 and tipped in the BBC’s sound of 2011 poll. Her debut album “Who You Are” will be released in 2011 and we look forward to hearing what tracks make the album.

My favourite tracks include: ‘Mama Knows Best’, ‘Nobodies Perfect’ and the amazing ‘Who’s Laughing Now'.

Look out for Jessie J she will be BIG!
