Jessie J

I keep running across good British singers. This is 22 year old Jessie J, a singer and songwriter who has penned hits for Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus, and others (she co-wrote Party In The USA  with Dr. Luke and Claude Kelly). Her music has influences from R&B, soul, hip hop, dance, and electronica genres. Jessie has an irregular heartbeat and suffered a minor stroke at the age of 18. She cites this reason as to why she does not smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs. In the video below she sings Price Tag. I like the lyrics and Jessie’s talent is obvious. Afterward, go to Jessie’s official website and watch “Dare Jessie J Episode 3” before it disappears. She chases the Hollywood sign around LA, and I loved watching her James Brown impression at his Hollywood star. You can tell she loves life.
