Jaden Thompson, one of the UK’s brightest young stars, first began exercising his interest in music at age 11. At around 16/17, Thompson got to see Seth Troxler and The Martinez Brothers play (three figures that would become influential to his career). Not long after, he delivered his debut release on Cuttin’ Headz, the ‘All Day’ EP, and began working closely with Seth Troxler, who is now his mentor. At age 20, Thompson became a resident of the world-renowned nightclub fabric and now, just a few years later, he frequently travels to play for audiences all over the world.
