(April 19, 2022) - "I grew up in the theatre so as a kid I always knew what I wanted to do," said Pop/R&B singer/songwriter Jade, who releases her debut EP "Contact" (TS2 Records) April 22, 2022, about her journey in music. "I love storytelling through music and acting. I'm a graduate of USC...I started a publishing company when I learned the business."

Though Jade has released music before, this is her first EP.

"It's my debut EP. I had released in the past but they had no publicity behind them," Jade informed me when asked.

Jade is excited to take what she learned in theatre ("Hair") and in the studio and put it in her performances. In fact, on April 5th she performed at a Lakers game halftime.

"It was a full house, sold out," she said about the Lakers game performance. "It was a very confirming experience - music-wise. I was welcomed by everyone. Everyone was vibing with my sound even though it's geared towards young people."

Jade's first single and music video off of the "Contact" project is titled "Lucky Stars." Supporting the "Contact" EP is producer Bobby Genius.

"I have my own home studio," Jade pointed out. "I learned the studio is a different environment than theatre. I have a deep passion for the studio, the ability to create... I love connecting to the audience through my music."

The majority of the songs on the "Contact" EP were written during the quarantine.

"The producer sent me material...that was very true to me," she concluded when asked how the project started. www.ThisIsJadeJ.com
