Layla Mack
Jaidé, born May 6, 2006, has been steadily carving out her place in music since she was just 14 years old. She began releasing music under the name "mint" before transitioning to "sage" in her mid-teens, a name that stuck after her debut album of the same title. Now performing under her chosen name, Jaidé, the evolution of her monikers, each rooted in shades of green, mirrors her growth as an artist and person. Music runs in her blood, with family influence shaping her early artistry; her grandfather, a guitarist, was a particularly strong inspiration. What began as a foundation in neo-soul has since expanded into a versatile, genre-blurring sound, with alternative R&B and rap standing at the forefront of her identity today.
Known for her storytelling, Jaidé’s lyrics have quickly earned a reputation as both vivid and deeply relatable. She focuses on honesty, weaving real-life events and emotional truths into her music with a natural flair that resonates across audiences. Performance, too, is central to her artistry; her stage presence reflects the same raw authenticity that defines her songwriting. For Jaidé, it’s about more than just music; it’s about creating an experience that leaves people not only listening but feeling, reflecting, and ultimately coming back for more.
