Jessie J (Jessie J; real name Jessica Ellen Cornish) is a British singer and songwriter. She has been known in the world of show business since 2011 - after the premiere of her debut album “Who You Are”.
Before we briefly go through Jessica's biography, we suggest you recharge your batteries with her video for the song “Bang Bang.” The video was filmed in 2014 with the participation of Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj under the direction of the famous American music video director Hannah Lux Davis.
Jessie J was born 27 March 1988, in London, in a family of working class representatives - Stephen Cornish - a social worker and Rose Cornish - a nanny in kindergarten. At the age of four she began to practice ballet, then step, then modern dance, jazz and acting. She danced the steppe and at the same time sang whole albums of terrible quality, written for relatives for Christmas and already then wore a wig. In addition, she had to spend time at the Great Ormond Street Hospital due to heart problems, and after the procedures she was sometimes released to attend rehearsals. In general, it was difficult to imagine that a global star is growing, however, this has happened. With time.
Jesse wrote her first song, “Big White Room”, in 17 years, based on the memories of being in the hospital six years before and communicating with a boy from the ward who underwent a serious heart operation. At night, he began to pray, to ask God to grant him life, and to die the next day. Jesse, at the same moment she wanted to write a song about this event that shocked her, but she felt herself not old enough for this. Later, the song was posted on YouTube, having received success, about seventy cover versions were made on it. And if many believe that they learned about Jessica thanks to YouTube, then this is a mistake: she began to upload her first videos to the network four years after the signing of the contract.
In 2010, Jessica's debut single, "Do It Like a Dude", reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. The singer’s second single, “Price Tag,” topped the UK Singles Chart and many other charts around the world in February 2011. The video for this track took 22nd place on the list of the most viewed videos of all time. To date, it has been viewed more than 600 million times. And the song, of course, is very recognizable. You often heard it on the radio, but didn’t know who sang it or what it was called. Now you can watch the clip itself.
On February 25, 2011, the debut studio album “Who You Are” was released, which immediately entered the top ten charts in many countries. Following the album's release, Jessie released the third single, "Nobody's Perfect", and the fourth single was the song "Who's Laughing Now". "Domino" was the fifth single from the album and the second US single.
In 2014, Jessie recorded a joint song “Calling All Hearts” with DJ Cassidy and American performer Robin Thicke for the DJ’s album “Paradise Royale”. On July 29, 2014, the single “Bang Bang” premiered, the video for which we watched at the very beginning.
