Born in Wales, the land of song, with music in her blood and poetry in her soul, there is no denying the love, support, and passion Jade had for this industry.


For the last two and a half decades, Jade has enjoyed countless gigs and music festivals on all scales worldwide. Jade believes in supporting bands/artists by buying tickets, promoting, helping with equipment, driving the bands to their destinations, reviewing, and more.

Jade supports grassroots music venue The Green Rooms in South Wales with its reawakening. She has always been drawn to the sirens of rock and Heavy Metal music, admiring their hard work, skills, raw emotion, and literal blood, sweat, and tears poured into that style, making it real and relatable.

Jade has been reviewing and reporting for MetalTalk for the last couple of years, having had notable mentions for her work by Shinedown and Hellfest.
