Jess Glynne belts it out on stage during her concert at Edinburgh Usher Hall on Wednesday night (February 17) in Scotland.

The 26-year-old “Hold My Hand” singer recently spoke with press about walking away from X Factor before the show even started it’s season.

“I don’t think there was a problem with the show – it was just the fact that I was very strong-minded, I knew what I wanted, and it wasn’t that,” Jess shared.

She added about what she experienced after walking away, “I decided to write 100 songs and find myself as an artist, and where I wanted to go. And I knew that the only way that I’d find something solid is if I write, write, write and try a million different things and listen to a world of music, as well. Then everything started to change for me.”
