Jessie J lived off of Miley Cyrus' success for three years, maybe more

  • December 29, 2014
  • Brad O'Mance

Jessie J

She doesn't like to talk about it but appar­ently Jessie J started out writing songs for other people, for instance Miley Cyrus and more spe­cific­ally the tune of note 'Party In The USA'. But having decided that the time is right to talk about it now, Jessie's claimed that the success of that song paid her rent for three years.

"You've got to write songs, that's where the money is, being an artist," she's declared (as quoted by the Mirror). 'Party In The USA' paid my rent for, like, three years."

Surely it was longer than that JJJJJessie J?

"Actually it was way longer than that. That's where I get most of my money. I write songs. I'm a singer."

Isn't she just.
