Jessica Ellen Cornish, known professionally as Jessie J, grew up in London and attended the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology, where she honed her skills in songwriting and performance. Early in her career, she found work behind the scenes, penning tracks for artists like Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus, including Cyrus’s hit “Party in the U.S.A.” However, Jessie J’s ambitions went far beyond writing for others. She signed with Gut Records but found her breakthrough when she later secured a deal with Lava Records, which would set her on the path to global stardom.
In 2011, Jessie J released her debut studio album Who You Are, which immediately propelled her to fame. The album peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified quadruple platinum in the UK. Its success was driven by hit singles such as “Price Tag,” which reached No. 1 in the UK and became an international hit, and “Domino,” which climbed to No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking her entry into the American pop market. “Do It Like a Dude,” her debut single, showcased her edgy, genre-blending style and also reached the UK Top 5. Her vocal ability, combined with anthemic, empowering lyrics, resonated with a global audience, earning her a BRIT Award for Critics’ Choice in 2011.
Following her initial breakthrough, Jessie J released her second studio album Alive in 2013. While it didn’t achieve the same commercial heights as Who You Are, it still debuted at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart and featured the singles “Wild” and “It’s My Party.” Her ability to mix pop, soul, and R&B elements was evident throughout the record. However, it was her third album Sweet Talker, released in 2014, that saw her return to international prominence. The album included “Bang Bang,” a powerhouse collaboration with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, which soared to No. 1 in the UK and No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. “Bang Bang” became one of the biggest hits of her career and showcased her remarkable vocal prowess alongside two of pop’s biggest stars.
In 2018, Jessie J released her fourth studio album, R.O.S.E., which was issued in four parts — Realisations, Obsessions, Sex, and Empowerment. This album was deeply personal, touching on themes such as love, heartbreak, and self-empowerment. Unlike her earlier mainstream pop efforts, R.O.S.E. leaned more heavily into soul and R&B, reflecting her desire to focus on artistic expression over commercial considerations. Although it didn’t achieve the same chart success as her previous records, it was praised for its raw honesty and vulnerability, signaling her growth as an artist willing to evolve and take risks.
Throughout her career, Jessie J has been honored with numerous awards, including a BRIT Award, BBC’s Sound of 2011 recognition, and multiple MOBO Awards. Beyond her commercial success, she has garnered respect for her dynamic vocal range and songwriting abilities, as well as her fearless embrace of personal subjects in her music. Her appearances on television, including as a coach on The Voice UK and The Voice Australia, further cemented her status as a beloved figure in contemporary pop, admired for her mentorship and advocacy of young talent.
Jessie J’s influence extends beyond music. She has been an outspoken advocate for body positivity, mental health awareness, and LGBTQ+ rights, frequently using her platform to address critical social issues. Her candor about living with a heart condition, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, has also inspired many fans facing health challenges. Additionally, she’s participated in numerous charity concerts and campaigns, including Children in Need and Comic Relief, highlighting her dedication to using her fame for good causes.
With a career marked by chart-topping hits, global recognition, and a commitment to authenticity, Jessie J has firmly established herself as a versatile and influential figure in modern pop music. Her willingness to evolve creatively while remaining deeply personal in her songwriting continues to endear her to fans worldwide. Whether belting out radio anthems or crafting introspective ballads, Jessie J remains a force in the music industry and a voice for empowerment and resilience.
