Jessie J Moving To America Next Year

Jessie J has revealed her desire to crack the US.

 

During an interview with Robin Thicke on his American tour.

 

The 25-year old explained: "The US is such a big market to break. It's such a different thing out there.

 

"I don't like doing anything half-heartedly, so I don't wanna do the US until I can be there - so I'm gonna live there next year."

 

At the age of 17, Jessie lived on the West Coast of the US, where she worked as a songwriter for Sony.

 

However, the Price Tag star has now set her sights on the Big Apple, stating: "I'd rather live in New York even though it's easier to break through when you live in LA. New York's more like London.

 

"I've grown up a lot and I've realised that what I need to make myself happy is the people around you. I'll make sure people come with me - I'll just give all my friends a job."

 

Jessie - who played the iTunes Festival earlier this week - noted that at the moment, her record label Lava/Universal have no plans to release her new album Alive in America, but added: "I'm hoping to have a single out there by January."
