As a recording artist, Jade began her recording
career in 1997 with the release of her first 12"
Dance single "Why Are You Gaggin’?”. In 2000,
she signed a record deal with Triple XXX Records
in London. “Bitch, You Look Fierce” and “Proud
Mary” have become underground favorites from New
York to London. Unfortunately, Triple XXX Records
folded. “How Do I Look?” was released in 2004
and has been remixed by DJs such as DJ Paulo
and Midnight Society. Keep your ears open for the
upcoming remixes of “Trade” by Midnight Society,
soon to hit iPods and dance floors everywhere.
From the Fall of 2001 to the Summer of 2002,
Jade made a transition from night club acts to
the Off-Broadway stage. First, with a small part in
Beverly Bonner’s hit play, “Manhattan Towers” as a
character that Jade wrote herself (Paprika Jones).
Then came “Happy Birthday, Madame Alberta,” a
play written by Robert Jason Jackson for 2002’s
Black Pride NYC Generations celebration. Time Out
New York magazine featured Jade in July, 2002.
Then came a one-woman show written specifically
for her by Francisco Kali called “Daddy’s Lil’ Girl,”which was part of the Blatino Playwrights Festivalat the Bronx Academy of Art & Dance.
