The 26-year-old 'Price Tag' hitmaker believes that she isn't always taken seriously as a singer, reported Digital Spy.
"In America they see me as a singer whereas here I feel that people don't appreciate my voice. I've dedicated my life to singing and I want it to be taken seriously," Jessie said.
"Here it seems that all people want to know is what I've had for breakfast and who I'm sleeping with."
The singer recently announced plans to release her third studio album Sweet Talker in October.
