Jessie J

With a soulful voice and unstoppable creative spirit, Jessie J became a beloved force in modern music when she first gained popularity in 2010. Born Jessica Ellen Cornish in London in 1988, Jessie J was an avid performer in National Youth Music Theatre as a child. She made her professional debut at the young age of eleven when she was cast in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Whistle Down the Wind" on the West End. Jessie J would suffer a minor stroke in 2007, forcing her to reevaluate her priorities at the young age of 19. After making a full recovery, she would go on to sign with Gut Records as well as become a songwriter for Sony ATV publishing. She would write songs for Miley Cyrus and Chris Brown before releasing her own debut single "Do It Like a Dude" in 2010. The song was a major hit, and her first album Who You Are followed it in 2011. Capitalizing on her new popularity, the singer became a coach on "The Voice UK" (BBC, 2012-) the following year. She released the albums Alive in 2013 and Sweet Talker in 2014, before switching continents for her TV career, becoming a coach on the Australian edition of "The Voice" (Nine, 2012-). After a brief hiatus, Jessie J returned to the music scene with her 2018 album R.O.S.E.. This was followed by her first holiday release, This Christmas Day (2018).
