Louisiana native Jade de Lafleur's passion for music and acting started at 5 years old. It was then that her mother, a soloist with the local church choir, introduced Jade to performing through the music of Whitney Houston. Eventually, Jade would join the youth choir herself, where she also became a soloist. Jade received her first big break when she signed to J Records (Clive Davis) and UnderDog Entertainment (Harvey Mason Jr. & Damon Thomas) as a member of the girl group Sophia Fresh. While beginning her professional recording career, she also studied theatre at Prairie View A&M University, graduating with a B.A. in Mass Communications. She then toured internationally as a Background Singer/Dancer for Solange Knowles. Her first release was a critically acclaimed EP entitled Jaded. It featured "Smoking In My Car," co-written with master songwriter James Fauntleroy while the title track was featured on Solange's Saint Heron compilation album; garnering praise from various notable media outlets. The original "Miss Mississippi" in the play P Valley, and most recently Co Starring in Marvel's Luke Cage, Jade is a triple threat Virtuoso on a fantastic Voyage.

"As a child, I grew up sitting in front of a computer by myself. That is where I learnt about music; playing video games and watching endless reruns of cartoons and American TV shows. Television gave me shelter when I was alone, nursed me with Hollywood’s mythologies. It guided me through nameless countries; with it I brought down colossuses and climbed mountains. I preached its beliefs. But when I grew up, all my heroes died. 

Today, I still come to mourn in deserted movie theatres. There, lights flash before my eyes. But I don’t feel anything in face of the latest blockbusters and their visual explosions, these chaotic clusters where Mechas and Kaijus pile up in between fights under the rain, tsunamis and apocalyptic scenes… Yet I feel numb, except for the roaring sub-basses that fill the void of cinemas. My music is for those who, like me, have grown up amongst the ruins of blockbusters. For them my bass trembles and my synths screech. 

But I know that beyond this digital coldness lie other horizons, other possibilities."
