+1 🎈🏖️ Thanks so much for all the love and birthday wishes! It’s been a hell of a year, and I’m so grateful to have so much love and positive support in my life!
I keep getting asked how I’m celebrating- the answer is with a party of course! Not just for my birthday (+ @jenuiine ’s 😋), but marking a year since our first @backandforthyyc event, starting our collective, and trying to create more space and opportunities for other femme identifying DJs! I’d genuinely love it if you would come this Saturday, May 4 to our @backandforthyyc Birthday Bash and celebrate with me! Grab your ticket in my bio- let’s party 🥳
2024. What a year!
This year has been a rollercoaster in the best way possible. Starting with being laid off in January, to opening for some of my favourite artists, djing with some of my favourite people, travelling to places on my bucket list, finding a new job, starting a DJ residency, spending time with loved ones, 2024 has been a year of growth and expansion.
While I’m not great at sharing my life as it happens or posting my achievements in the moment- I’m so eternally grateful for the life I have, and for those who make it worth living everyday. I’m so blessed to be able to learn and grow, dance and love and hope to do way more of it in 2025! A goal of mine is to post more of me alongside flyers, but until then, enjoy this small glimpse into this past year.
Thanks to all who loved with me, cried with me, and supported me.
Wishing you the best in 2025!
Summer‘s here!! 🧡 It’s my favourite time of year, and I’m so blessed to announce some killer shows I’m playing, starting off with @chrislake at @badlandsmusicfest this Friday!! So excited for this as I’m a big fan!
I’m not stopping there, swipe to see my upcoming summer schedule, including @skratchbastid ‘s funky and fun annual BBQ this Saturday, and @technicolor.yyc ‘s Market this Sunday- with more to be announced as it’s available! I’m playing a range of genres this summer, from House, to more open format sets that include Baile Funk, UKG, Afrobeats and Disco!
Hope you can make it out with me to celebrate life and make the dance floor a place of joy! Come say hi whenever and wherever you see me! ( I might even have a treat for you 🤭) 🥰🥰🥳🧡

Jadé is a Calgary STAR. She is a multi-genre DJ who plays everything from R&B and hip-hop to house and throwbacks. She’s played spots like Badlands and Sweet Loretta, and is a regular at the city’s “baddies only” house parties. Her sets are based on 3 things: good music, good energy, and people actually dancing.
If you want to watch her mix… tickets are in the bio 🙂↕️🤝

𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦: Jadé’s unique, genre-bending sound is influenced by her Nigerian heritage, her love for all forms of dance music, and a desire to sonically showcase cultural connections—from soulful roots and rhythms to fast-paced global club sounds. Her aim: keep the dance floor joyful, expressive, and moving… with a lil booty shake, of course.
We’re absolutely blessed to have Jadé back to play her second Genesis event. if you missed her set last time, don’t make the same mistake twice! she always serves!

Confession: I’m lowkey jealous every year I see the @thedowntowndefrost festivities in Edmonton.
So I’m extra excited to finally join the fun next Saturday afternoon! 🥳
Looking forward to the vibes, catching up with my YEG friends, a green onion cake, and seeing some familiar faces!
🏡House but keeping it seasoned!
In my first collaboration with @king.ife from @konnect.culture we’re bringing you Night Shift this evening at @the6canada !
I’ve hand selected a couple DJ friends to help me work the night, @kingmarsthe1st and @bogd0g.mp3 are both incredibly talented DJs capable of it all- and tonight playing over the spectrum of Latin House, Afrohouse and all genres in between!
I’ll be joining in too with some well spiced tracks to celebrate the final day of Black History Month the best way I know how. (house music is also black music- don’t forget!) Celebrations to our G @bogd0g.mp3 during his birthday weekend also! 🥳
Hope you can pick up a last minute shift and join us tonight if you haven’t already made plans- Tickets will available online and at the door!
I’ll also be gifting tickets to the first couple folks who comment the name of the DJ referred to as the “Godfather of House” 😉 (I love trivia 🤓!)
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us at the Black History Month day party + Battle of the DJs ✊🏾🎧🪩
What a beautiful reminder of how powerful it is when Black, African & Caribbean communities come together to dance, connect, and celebrate culture! 💃🏾
Six incredible DJs and a crowd that showed up in full celebration of Black excellence. An incredible collaboration with YYC’s finest @impressjade !
Thank you for trusting us with your time, your energy, and your joy. We felt it. Every single second. ✨🤎
