British singer/songwriter Jessie J has won the BRITs Critics' Choice award, making it four prizes in four years for female acts.

Previous winners of the prize honoring up-and-coming artists on the British pop scene were Ellie Goulding, Florence and the Machine and Adele.

"This is epic! It has been a dream since I was a little girl to win a BRIT. I can't believe it's happened!" said Jessie, whose real name is Jessica Cornish.

The 22-year-old from Essex has written several songs for established stars including Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera.

Her single "Do It Like a Dude" was released by her Island Records label, part of Universal Music.
