JAYDA G


 

Jayda’s infatuation with music was sparked early, beginning with lessons in piano and violin from the age of 5, her tastes began to form around the impressive collection of records her dad— an avid collector — had built up of Soul, R&B, Funk and Blues. 

The release of her mid-pandemic single “Both Of Us” (2021), created with producer Fred Again.. would prove to be a pivotal moment for Jayda. Paying tribute to the dancefloors of the past and drawing on her love of classic, uplifting house, the track quickly took on a life of its own among fans, drawing an outpouring of critical praise that saw it named as one of the “Songs of the Year” by Pitchfork, NPR, Billboard, The Guardian, NME, NYLON, Clash and many, many more, and earning her a notable Grammy nomination at the 2021 awards.
