The act
During the ceremony or a reflective reception moment, Jade Soul can shape a song specifically around your wedding. Her voice moves through neo soul, jazz and folk, accompanied by guitar and live loops that layer vocal harmonies. Jade performs mainly original work alongside familiar covers, reading the room to choose between softer music and more upbeat material. She can appear solo, arrange a duo or band, and add a DJ set when planned in advance. The moment to hear her is during a personal part of the day, especially if you ask her to write something just for the occasion.

Good to know
What to expect
One guitar, a microphone and a loop station, and Jade builds the rest live by stacking her own harmonies. She reads the space and plays to it, so a restaurant set and a party set are genuinely different nights. Up to four hours of music is on the table, more for a wedding, and if you'd rather not have a solo act she can arrange a duo. Most of what she writes is her own, but there's a solid stack of covers in there too, the sort people know without being told.
On the day
Jade has a moderate PA she'll bring if the venue hasn't got one. A power source is the main thing she needs from you. Cables and extension leads she sorts herself once she knows the layout, so it's worth describing the space, and where the power sits in it, when you enquire.
Performance options
Solo is the standard, and she can put together a duo or a band, or DJ, given enough notice. For a wedding she'll customise songs for you, and with time up her sleeve she'll write one for the day itself. She also plays funerals, which she treats carefully and with a lot of respect for the room.
