She's already an accomplished songwriter, having penned tracks for A-listers like Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, and now Jessie J is debuting her own vocal talents in her inaugural album "Who You Are."
The vivacious 23-year-old told press of her latest project, "It's been an incredible few months. It feels like I've had 10 years [of a] career in one week. To be accepted and also understood as well, I think people are really getting my music and getting me. It's the best feeling ever."
The British songstress says she wants to send a strong message with her debut record and that is to love "Who You Are," revealing, "For me, I love being an influential role model, especially with young people who feel like they don't know who they are and aren't comfortable in their own skin. I've kind of had to fast-forward and go, 'I don't care if I look stupid.' You have to believe in yourself before anyone else can believe in you."
Jesse added of what music is for her, "I think, for me, empowering songs stand the test of time. They never get old. It's something you always need. Everyone needs a lift. I just hope that I can bring a little light to the world."
