DJ, Grammy-nominated producer, biologist, podcast host, documentarian: Jayda G is one of those rare artists who seems to have lived several lives at once. The British Columbia-born, London-based artist brings social awareness and emotional depth to everything she touches, filling her music with curiosity and intention. Jayda is now entering a new, joyful phase of her career, one where she’s proving that motherhood and club culture don’t have to exist in opposition.
That new chapter begins with ‘The Shiver’, an ecstatic piano house anthem engineered for peak-time dancefloors. The track is dedicated to her husband – her high school sweetheart, and from whom she spent a decade apart after they went to separate universities, before reuniting in 2020. When they got back together, Jayda felt a literal shiver of happiness – a sensation she wanted to bottle in her sound.
Annie Mac described her as “one of my favourite DJs – ever – to watch,” and it’s easy to see why. Jayda plays with irrepressible energy, beaming ear to ear as she drops soul, house and disco classics alongside new gems, often belting along with the crowd. She’s played everywhere from Glastonbury and Coachella to Boiler Room and Ibiza, but one performance stands out: her 2024 set in the Mixmag Lab.
Whether she’s behind the decks, mic or camera, Jayda G’s work pulses with intention. As she enters this new phase of her life and career, things may look slightly different, but the message is the same: joy and connection.
