R&B recording artist Jade Alston has been grinding in the entertainment business for a long time in the forefront and behind the scenes a singer/songwriter/VJ/guitarist/hype girl – you name it! Hailing from Philadelphia, 24-year old Jade Alston is well-known to many people as ‘Your Girl Jasmine Jai.’ Jasmine Jai was Jade’s stage name when she first hit the entertainment scene at age 14.
Jade Alston (her real name) was a VJ for eight years on Philadelphia’s longest running video show,Urban X-pressions. As an on-air VJ, Jade interviewed some of the hottest acts in entertainment like Lil’Wayne, Wendy Williams, Cee-Lo, Gabrielle Union, Jet Lee, etc… Jade also worked on music projects with numerous well-known people like songwriters Carvin & Ivan (Musiq Soulchild), singer Mario (J Records) and producer Chucky Thompson (Mary J Blige, Nas). Jade even released an indie project under the name Jasmine Jai that charted at #49 and #7 on the Billboard and Regional charts respectively for several weeks.
When recording artist Kelis needed a Hype Girl for her album’s radio promo tour, Jade was immediately selected. Jade shared the stage with Kelis for several dates before seizing the opportunity to go on tour to promote her own music. Jade toured the country opening for acts like 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Jim Jones, Amerie, Sean Paul, Joe Budden and Trina. A producer from BET saw Jade’s live show and invited her to perform on BET’s 106th and Park. Of course Jade accepted and ultimately fulfilled one of her dreams – performing live on 106th and Park.
After several years of touring, the young Jade Alston had grown up. Being in the forefront for so long had kept her out of the studio for some time. Creatively Jade felt that she needed time behind the scenes to develop a more mature sound that better reflected her personality and talents. Jade also wanted to further explore her songwriting abilities. As of late, Jade has been doing just that. Jade has been working in the same writing/production camp as Grammy nominated songwriter Claude Kelly (Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus), Grammy winning producer Jon Jon Traxx (Beyonce) and Grammy winning producer Chuck Harmony (Rihanna, Fantasia and Chrisette Michelle). Jade has written for several national and international artists.
