Biography

JAIDENE VEDA (JAIVEDA PRODUCTIONS) CANADA
Silky, smooth, distinct... after four co-written and self produced indie albums, two Billboard club singles, and several international chart topping records including 'SUNDAY', 'FLOW' & 'SOUL SIZE LOVE', Jaidene Veda has become a recognizable voice in both the underground house community and top 40 club circuits around the world. Having worked with groundbreaking Artists such as Ursula Rucker, Joaquin "Joe" Claussell & Grammy nominated, Josh Milan, formerly from Motown Record's duo "Blaze", as well as Producers Glen Underground, Jimpster, Ananda Project, Reelsoul & Ralf Gum,
Veda's continually maturing sound has been praised as inimitable.

Often described as 'Bjork meets Sade', even dubbed a 'modern day Tracey Thorn', NYC's "GIANT STEP RECORDS" recognized her multiple talents via their 'Next Step' contest (http://www.giantstep.net/index.php/2012/07/nextstep-
may-winner-jaidene-veda/) and further echoed comparisons to the "Naked Music" era that influenced her from the start.

Also an award winning Filmmaker, Cinematographer and Sound Designer, Jaidene (an Audio Grad from the Vancouver Film School) was recognized at several International Graduate Film Festivals, for 'Outstanding Video-making Achievement', as well as nominations for 'Best Experimental' & 'Best Original Music', for her debut short film in 2005. Receiving awards for 'Best Sound' in both Toronto and Vancouver, she continued to direct and post produce an award winning commercial for the sponsoring executives at 'PEPSI'. She continues working behind the lens and is now well known for experimenting with indie music videos and film shorts along side fellow Canadian performance Artists, including a guerrilla documentary focused on the Calgary underground scene that influenced a younger Veda. Her latest endeavours to broaden her skill set led her to study Photography & Lighting at the Paris College of Art in 2015. Two of her studio pieces were selected and included in
world renowned & Celebrity Photographer, Michael Daks' exhibition, "The Body", held in France.
