Jade LeMac naturally exists outside of any boxes, and it's instantly apparent in her distinct sound and music. At only 20 years old, the Vancouver-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist uses her creativity to unite the world of storytelling and music in a unique and captivating way, far beyond her years. She takes pride in her half-Asian heritage and connection to the 2SLGBTQ+ community, both of which have profoundly shaped her capacity to transcend the boundaries between genres.
Her upbringing within a close-knit, multicultural family on Canada's Vancouver Island provided unwavering support for all facets of life, particularly her music and songwriting. By middle school, she was writing songs of her own and featuring on various dance singles when she started to attract a following on Instagram. Throughout 2020, Jade harnessed the power of TikTok, amassing 1.2 million followers and 51M+ likes. During 2021, she unveiled her debut single "Constellations," an unorthodox love song, likening "the freckles on a body to constellations." The independent release shined with nearly 30M million cumulative streams and counting.
The track gained re-virality with sync in teen movie “My Life With The Walter Boys.” She carried this momentum through with her following indie releases, eventually inking a deal with Arista Recordings in 2022, where she released her first EP "Constellations" in February of 2023, paying homage to the song that catapulted her journey. GLAAD championed her among "10 LGBTQ Women in Music to Listen to this Pride Month," featured in Teen Vogue, and she's received praise from Ones To Watch, Diva Magazine, Pride, Popdust and more. This past year Jade released her second EP, Confessions and now will be kicking off her 2024 with her deluxe version of Confessions.
