Career

According to her family, Jayde's first role was as a baby in a crib in a bank commercial which aired in the Midwest. Around 2009 she started acting as a Junior Reporter for a teen magazine, documenting red carpets.[4]

She was first noticed by director Michael Feifer, who first included her as an extra in the 2012 film Stolen Child, as well starring her in her first major role in the movie Lucky Dog, alongside Bryce Johnson and Boti Bliss.

2019-present - Music

Her first recorded song was a cover of "Baby, It's Cold Outside", which she performed with Emery Kelly of boy band Forever In Your Mind.[5] Her first single, "If I Really Love You", came out in February of 2020 and quickly reached a million streams. During the following year Jayde would sign with her label, APG, as well as be featured on a song by Goody Grace and Cigarettes After Sex.[6] Her debut EP, A Teenage Diary (stylized in all lowercase), came out on July 23rd, 2021, and featured her biggest single at the time, "Newbury Park".[7]

Her second EP, Closer To Closure, was released on May 26th, 2022.[8] [9]

Influences

Jayde has cited Fleetwood Mac, Taylor Swift, Billy Joel, Elton John, Queen, Prince, Kacey Musgraves, and Lorde as inspirations.[10] She writes about her past experiences, stating "Hearing the final product of a song is kind of like closure for me, whereas I never found that in other things. Songwriting is so beautiful in so many ways, and I’m forever grateful for it".[11] [12] Several of her songs tackle the subject of 'growing up too fast', which resulted from Jayde being involved in the industry since a very young age.[13]
