Temecula, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/01/2010 -- CASTING NEW LIVES (CNL) is pleased to announce that we have signed JADE HENDRIX to an exclusive representation agreement. “Jade is one of the most amazing new artists we have heard in a very long time, and we believe her new album, “Carry Me Away”, is Grammy bound” says Brinka Rauh.
Jade was born March 2nd, 1988 in Oxnard, California. Despite her current residency in Las Vegas, Jade will always be a California girl at heart. She grew up backstage, watching her mother sing back-up for world-renowned artists such as Natalie Cole, Barry Manilow and Tom Jones. Jade was the kid making all the noise and causing mischief behind the curtains. It was there that her love for music sprang.
Although Jade loves nothing more than getting on the stage today, it didn't start out that way. Being the quintessential middle child, she was always more comfortable being the wallflower and watching her siblings step into the spotlight. Even in her seventh-grade choir class, Jade was content to lip-sing, too shy to let her voice out. All of that changed once she got to high school.
Jade went to Happy Valley School, a private school for the performing arts in Ojai, California. During her time there, Jade tested the waters with her music, learning to play a few instruments and finally picking up the microphone. It was there that she began to study artists such as Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Joni Mitchell, Donny Hathaway and James Taylor. Their music influenced her sound. Under the guidance of her music and drama teachers, she began writing her own music and experimenting with her audience. She gained a sense of courage when it came to performing, and reveled in the chance to sing for her peers. But despite her newfound confidence on stage, it wouldn't be until Jade was well out of high school that she entered the realm of the entertainment industry.
During her third year of college, Jade caught the ear of producer Dan Voss Jr., who then encouraged her to take a leap of faith and step into the limelight. Through his guidance, and her mother's grace and wisdom, Jade went into the studio to record her debut album. Musical greats such as Steve Madaio of Stevie Wonder fame, Grammy award-winning bassist Rick Fierabachi, and her mother, Sharon Hendrix are just a handful of the talents that recorded on this project.
Jade's approach to music is authentic and true, with a sweet soprano voice that moves you.
