It's weird because when you initially write a song, you write it with no understanding that the world is maybe going to hear it one day. So when you go into the studio, you don't see the hundreds of people at a gig or the viewers on TV, you just write a song without any inhibitions or boundaries.
Jessie JI never complain that I'm tired, because I know as soon as I get a good nine hours' sleep, I'm cool.
Jessie JI am a very honest person, and I can only say there are moments in my life where I really did think I was being me in the sense of my morals and beliefs and the way I acted. But when I look back at certain things that I wore and my hair and make-up, I was like, 'Whoa! That wasn't me!' But I didn't know it back then.
Jessie JAnd I definitely do that very British thing of, take things with a pinch of salt, stiff upper lip, you know what I mean?
Jessie JIt's healthy to admit you're not ok. 'It's ok not to be ok' it's brave. But don't let it win. Be sad. Have your moment, your day or week. Then do something about it and be happy. For yourself.
Jessie JBut I love singing live. Nothing beats the feeling of going out on stage and going, 'I can really sing.'
Jessie JI want young people to know that they can belong - whatever your culture, your religion, your sexuality - that you can live life how you want to live it and feel comfortable how you are.
Jessie JI always wanted to be an artist; being a songwriter for myself was always a must but being a songwriter for others has been a bonus.
Jessie JI also surround myself with people who make me laugh. If I'm not laughing, it upsets my day.
Jessie JI think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it.
Jessie JWe all have our moments of being fed up ... but give me your hand and I'll hold it. If you are being bullied I am thinking of you. You are not alone and it will get better. Don't let them win. It's okay not to be okay.
Jessie JI'm so happy people are seeing the eclectic side of me. I'm really honored to be able to push my voice into different sounds. Otherwise it all gets a bit samey same.
Jessie JChildren used to get bullied at school. Now they go home and that's where the problem starts - because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who's 'liked' a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them. They don't know what's real and what's not, editing their lives constantly to fit other people's views.
