Jayda Jean's Debut EP
Hi Friends,
Thanks for dropping by! I am Woody, Jayda's Dad, and I am overseeing her crowdfunding campaign via my Pozible Page.
I hope you will support her music by sharing, liking and pledging your support over the next 4 weeks. Let's do this!
Jayda's Debut EP
My name is Jayda Jean and I am a 16-year-old singer-songwriter from the Upper Yarra Valley (east of Melbourne). I am asking for help to record my debut EP. The length of the album depends on the support that I gain from friends, family and you.
Here is a bit about me first...
I grew up in a musical family and wrote, recorded and toured with my dad's band Woody's World. Perhaps the most famous song that Dad and I wrote in these early days was Catch the Leaves.
Touring with Dad and my siblings in the family band was amazing. I also played music at school and started doing a few gigs on my own with my battery-powered amp, guitar and ukulele.
In 2018 at the age of 12, I entered an original song in the ACMF National Songwriting Competition. A few weeks later I got the call that I won! Here is the recording session for that song: Take Me in Your Arms
Fast forward to 2022 and I have two songs recorded professionally which are on Spotify, I have won a second national songwriting award (click on 2020), I have started gigging around Adelaide and Melbourne at festivals and events and I have two singles on Spotify with over 21,000 streams.
The Debut EP...
Now it is time to record the catalogue of songs I have written over the past two years. I am really proud of these songs and I desperately want to capture them in the studio with a professional sound. But recording is expensive and I need help to complete my debut EP. I have enlisted the help of 3 producers - Kaicey Fukuda (aka Nobuki), Ned Machin (aka. Ned.) and Reyjah Simpson Roberts, as well at my dad (Woody) and Simon Russell (Deep Switch Studios). We plan to have a live launch in both Adelaide and Melbourne in late 2022.
I'm excited and you should be too!
Please check out the rewards on offer and think about supporting my debut recording, due for release in the second half of 2022. You can help by spreading the word, sharing this campaign and tagging your friends and family.
Let's do this!
