A notably British blend of musical styles, but always rooted in her beloved country music, Jade’s original songs are sometimes infectiously upbeat, sometimes reflective and balladesque, but either way intensely catchy. Her 4 track EP, 'Urban Life, Country Heart' was released in 2012. Music and song writing are Jade’s way of escaping the sometimes harsh realities of her ‘urban’, northern town life, and releasing her true ‘country heart’.
Jade’s songs are heavily influenced by pop and country artists old and new, such as Taylor Swift, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Lady Antebellum. Jade has opened up for some amazing artists such as Mercury, The Christians, The Muldoon Brothers, Misty Miller, Off The Wall, The Dunwells, The Spirit of Smokie, Turin Brakes, Graham Goulding and T-Rex. Jade has had her music played on national radio in the UK, and has performed live on regional radio shows.
She has performed to some amazing crowds, and to great acclaim at festivals such as 'Bingley Music Live' ‘Oakwell Festival’ and 'Galtres Festival'.
Jade’s debut album, ‘Secrets’, was released on May 4th 2015 most major digital outlets and in CD format. The first single from the album entitled ‘Still On My Mind’ was released on March 16th 2015.
