Jessie J
British breakout R&B star Jessie J has a backstory that sets her apart from most pop ingénues. At 22, the black-bobbed beauty has already weathered suffering a stroke, heart problems, and seeing the first label that signed her go bankrupt. Rather than give up her dreams of stardom, Jessie has gained confidence from the setbacks. Who else could have not only maintained her poise while performing as the 2011 VMAs’ house artist with a cast on her foot—but rocked the mic sitting on a throne, turning ruptured tendons into a style statement?
The singer-songwriter, who has written for artists like Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, and Miley Cyrus, broke through this year with ‘Do It Like a Dude’, the lead single off her first album, Who You Are. She also released ‘Price Tag’ with rapper B.o.B., which shot to number one in the U.K. and Ireland and hit the top 10 in 19 countries.
