Jade originally started DJing in 1993, mixing Indie/Madchester records in a previously non-mixed CD scene. She soon progressed DJing at small underground raves and got involved in promoting some of these events, including the successful Space Cadet parties.

She is best known for her big 'Anthem' morning sets at at many large Sydney raves between ‘93 and ‘96 including, Bondi Beach Xmas Bash ‘93, Fantasia NYE ‘93, Global, MDMA 2, Futurescape, Smurf Village and Field of Dreams 3&4.

From late '95 onwards she moved into the house scene and played at House of Decadence, Hothouse and Golden parties, playing mostly early '90s UK House, as well as making some regular appearances at Sounds on Sunday in it's formative years.

In the 2000's she performed at events such as Townhouse, Sunrise and Life on Mars, and venues such as Tone (Mars Lounge), the Kings Cross Hotel and Home nightclub - playing mostly Nu Jazz, Deep House and Funky/Vocal House.

In 2012 she briefly retired from DJing to pursue other interests, including swing dancing, but her love of sharing music with an audience drew her back to the decks.

From 2017 to 2019, under the moniker Jade To Grey, she conceived and co-promoted a regular 80's Synth-Pop/New Wave night called Electronique, as well as co-hosting 'Electronique Radio' which started as a weekly Saturday evening slot on Bondi Beach Radio and transformed into monthly podcasts. These can be heard at:

Her vast music knowledge and vinyl collection has her now exploring and sharing many of her other favourite genres under the moniker 'Jade Deluxe' including: Indie Dance/Madchester, Electro Swing, Swing Jazz and Mod/Ska/Soul to name a few.
