Canadian Country Artist Jade Naraine, born Jade Elizabeth Thelwell of Finnish, Jamaican and Russian descent – from Southern Ontario – always knew she wanted to be a singer. It started at just 5 years old, when she went to see Christina Aguilera at a mall signing for her first album. She says she was just blown away. From that moment on she knew she was supposed to be a singer just like her.
Growing up with traditional country roots, from her grandmother, Jade started performing at weddings, banquettes and doing tons of musical theatre in the Country music genre; however, it wasn’t until the end of high school when she started looking for a music producer to begin recording her own songs.
In 2019, Jade released “Back to my Dream” – that pokes fun at herself and the adversities she’s faced, including being told by both her parents, that singing was a pipe dream, then there is “Country Music Took Me Back” – about learning life lessons – after a severe life changing event, where she was subject to a sexual assault, impacted her emotional ability to pursue a career in Country music for a short time. She’s had her fair share of adversity, but Country music became her saving grace.
Jade’s song; “Princess” was a track on the 2020 EP; “Back to my Dream.” The single garnered national radio and media attention for it’s uplifting message and vulnerable lyrics about her journey going from a weak, broken woman to a strong woman.
Jade’s release “I’d Tell Her” – also garnered media praise from critics. Jade has continues to release new music on an ongoing basis including her latest songs; “Ford or a Chevy” and “Say Bad Things” which are causing a lot of buzz.
Jade says that her favourite part about being a singer is writing. She loves to tell stories through her music and use meaningful lyrics and rich instrumentation, to move her listeners. Her sound is both traditional to country roots, new and poppy. Fans are always sure to be touched by her lyrics and hooky melodies. Fans can expect to hear pop/country cross over tracks, country tracks, and pop tracks throughout Jade’s career in music.
In 2020, her record label; Voodoo Records launched Nash North Records, which is a Canadian Country Music Record label, with an office in Nashville, which Jade has since signed with.
