By Erica Martin

British pop star Jessie J has confirmed that she’s returning to China for her R.O.S.E. World Tour this August and September. 

Celebrated for mixing her soulful vocals with elements of R&B, pop and hip-hop, the London-born singer first rose to prominence in 2010 with her debut single ‘Do It Like a Dude,’ followed by her chart-topping first album, Who You Are, in 2011. She’s responsible for a slew of hits, including ‘Price Tag,’ ‘Domino’ and ‘Bang Bang’ with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. 

She’s best known in China however, for being the first foreign contestant on Hunan TV’s reality competition show, Singer.  Jessie J spent 3 months in Hunan during the filming of the show, and went on to win first prize thanks to her on-point vocals and bubbly personality.
