Jade Empress

Self-preservation has always been important for Jade Empress. Over the last 18 months working as a frontline doctor in remote Australia, she naturally turned to songwriting as a retreat from reality. 

Growing up off-grid in rural Victoria, and surrounded with her parents’ vinyl collection, she fell in love with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Joan Armatrading, David Bowie and Joni Mitchell. Jade’s songwriting has been influenced by these artists and their ability to put their whole essence into their music, rather than hold back. She combines their love of storytelling with evocative vocals reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, Florence and the Machine and London Grammar, and delivers songs that are intimately true to herself.

Jade has three more singles already set for release in 2022, each one as full of duality as is her life - sexy yet sweet, playful yet seriously introspective, wistful and nostalgic yet endlessly curious about what lies over the next horizon.
