ABOUT JADA KINGDOM:

For as much as Jada Kingdom twists together dancehall, R&B, pop, and jazz, the Jamaica-born songwriter also merges moments of introspection, seduction, and empowerment. Born and raised in 7 Mile Bull Bay (Gold Shore Lane) on the east side of Kingston, Jamaica, she resided in a two-bedroom home with her mother, brother, and sister—sharing a bed with her siblings. Despite "growing up in a really rough and dark place," Jada wrote poems at only eight years old and was inspired musically by the likes of Nina Simone, Diana King, Sade, Minnie Ripperton, and Amy Winehouse. In 2017, she dropped her debut single, "Love Situations." 

By the end of the next year, she popped off internationally with "Banana" and the "Banana REMIX Challenge," which has now amassed 5 million Spotify streams and 9.4 million YouTube views. To date, she's served up two projects, the mixtape E-Syde Queen (The Twinkle Playlist) #Snacksize (2020) and New Motion (2022), which spawned one of her most daring song releases "GPP" — a track that stretches the boundaries of balladry with a Doo-Wop rhythm & blues feel and sensational island flavor. After amassing 50 million-plus streams and views, collaborating with everyone from John Legend, Popcaan and Vybz Kartel to Davido, Skillibeng, and Aluna and earning acclaim from The FADER, Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue, and more.
