Pop star Jessie J has said that she has worked very hard in the music industry, to be where she is today.

The ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ singer explained to ‘That Grape Juice’ that she once wrote 150 songs in two years on her quest to make it big.

She said: “I think back to the early days. Days of wanting to be signed, then getting signed with a girl band, writing 150 songs in two years only for the label to go bankrupt. It hasn't been easy.

"I got signed to Sony as a songwriter doing support stuff in any place I could around the world for free. All the while, I was just living in a car. Doing all of that stuff that felt so crazy at the time. Yet, these are the things you have to go through to be the kind of artist you want to be. The type of artist who survives in this industry."

Speaking about her new album, the 23-year-old teased: "I think the next album will be all about maturity and how I have grown a lot. My whole life has changed and obviously I know that there's a lot of people that can't relate to the life I live.

"However, there are a lot of people who can relate to the challenges I have been set and the craziness that you see."
