Born Jessica Cornish in Chadwell Heath, London in 1988, Jessie J started her career in show biz at the age of 11, performing in the West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind. Jessie J had major health problems on the road to stardom. Following a major stroke at age 18, she gained a Sony publishing contract and penned hits for the likes of Chris Brown, Dutch X Factor winner Lisa Lois, and Miley Cyrus (the American number two hit "Party in the USA") and many more. her debut album, Who You Are, reveals she's more than capable of coping with the pressure.
The album was released on February 25th 2011 and had been awarded The billboard 200 on Peak 11 and Top Canadian albums on Peak 6. Jessie J has come from a very distinctive family and not to mention the hysterical health issues that could have prevented her from being the talented female she is today. "Who You Are" consists of 13 songs all of which had distinctive sounds and beats.The album has also been awarded MOBO Awards for Best Album, and BBC Radio 1 Teen Award for Best British Album. My favorite song on the album would have to be "Who You Are" I believe this songs channels her inner spirit in ways of telling her story without physically doing so. You can tell just by the video that she was going through a lot and looking for a resolution to her problem by first fixing her thoughts and finding who she really was.
