Jessie J has taken to Instagram to congratulate a talented musician from Al Diyafah High School in Al Qusais. The pop star sent the well wishes to Esther Eden after she signed a deal with the record label giant Universal Music MENA. The Price Tag singer propelled 17-year-old Eden into the limelight when she invited the teenager to perform with her at RedFestDXB last year. Writing on Esther’s Instagram page, Jessie J said she was “so proud”, followed by a smiley emoticon. The singer-songwriter also performed at a secret gig for British Airways over the weekend in Abu Dhabi.
