London, July 28 :  Welsh singer-songwriter Jay James Picton thinks pop star Jessie J is an inspiration to British artistes.

"She's amazing. I'm very rarely complementary towards certain artistes, but Jessie is certainly an artiste to be proud of with what Britain brings out," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Picton as saying.

"Everything that she does is 100 percent who she is. When you see her on stage, she is herself. She's a real inspiration," he added.

The "You're The Sea" singer discovered his musical talent after singing in public as a drunken bet with a friend five years ago and is now an up and coming talent.
