There are many paths to journey down – Jade Roads has taken the path less travelled.

Compelled by an overwhelming wanderlust, young Jade left her Canadian home and propelled herself into an amazing adventure filled with love, spirit and music.

She spent time playing on islands in Indonesia, busked on the streets of Australia, filled venues in northern Thailand and frequents Canada’s West Coast.

At one point in her journey, she landed on Isla Mujeres, QROO MX and decided to take up residency for several years, playing music full time throughout the island and the Mayan Riviera. She found herself an active participant in the Mexican reggae scene, touring through Mexico and opening for bands like Ganja, Gondwana, Los Aguas Aguas, and Fidel Nadal.

In 2014, she left Mexico, taking her music to Austin TX and eventually back home to Canada where she completed her debut EP: Tapestry.

An international artist with a solid foundation of rock, soul and reggae, her ecclectic sound is unique and universal. Transcending genres, it's a sound that will shake your soul and move your feet.

She's wandered a long time. She's returning now with a Tapestry of story and sound for the adventurous at heart. The Jade Roads Tapestry EP is available now on all streaming platforms.
