London was the place to be tonight (February 20) as the 2013 BRIT Awards welcomed Jessie J to the illustrious O2 Arena.

The “Who You Are” singer was more than happy to pose for the paparazzi and chat with the press prior to heading inside to prepare for the exciting evening ahead.

Facing stiff competition from 14 other artists, the 24-year-old UK songstress is up for the award for British Single along with artists including Adele, Coldplay & Rihanna, and Rita Ora.

As for the British Live Act hopefuls, Coldplay, Mumford & Sons, The Rolling Stones, The Vaccines, and Muse all have a shot at going home with some hardware.
