This extraordinary biography tells how Jessica Ellen Cornish from Ilford in north east London overcame being not really that good at anything to reinvent herself as Jessie J and record one of the biggest selling albums of 2011.

Success came in the face of extraordinary setbacks. Childhood bullying, an irregular heartbeat, a serious fall from the stage and a minor stroke at the age of 18 all threatened the health and career of the BRIT school student who first pursued fame through dance and the musical theatre.

Author Chloe Govan has interviewed record producers, school classmates, friends, dance tutors and many others to unearth the real stories behind Jessie Js improbable road to fame.

Chlo Govan has written about travel, lifestyle and music for a variety of publications around the world including Travel Weekly, The Times and Real Travel, where she has a monthly column. She is also the author of Katy Perry: A Life of Fireworks and Rihanna: Rebel Flower, also published by Omnibus Press.
