The 'Desperate Housewives' star is confident his debut album will soon be topping charts all over the world.
Jesse, 28, is quoted as saying: "People are going to be shocked by my first album. It is going to reveal my unseen mature side and I've even co-written some of the songs.
"I think I could be the next James Blunt."
Jesse's ex-girlfriend Nadine Coyle, who is in British band Girls Aloud, is said to be furious with the actor's plans for pop stardom.
A source said: "Nadine has made no secret of the fact that she wants to relocate to America as her family are already there.
"She is now worried his singing career could have a negative effect on her own musical credibility when she moves Stateside."
The pair split after almost a year together following allegations that Jesse had cheated on Nadine shortly after leaving rehab.
