London based Irish-Puerto Rican musician, Jæd, plays a headline show following the release of the debut album 'I Loved the Gauntlet and There Was No Other Way’ in Nov ‘24. The growth of an artist and woman in real-time, fragmentation of the self, grief, investigations of jealousy, the corporeal and ancestral body and negotiations with femininity: these are some of the elements she ignites in her music, sometimes conflicting and ever-changing experience with sound and with courage.
‘Tunes that sizzle and burst, bristling with nervous energy, both in terms of the instrumentation and – especially – Jæd’s charismatic, livewire performance.' - The Line Of Best Fit
'Her stage presence, dynamic vocal range and virtuoso guitar playing have all translated beautifully into the tracks that form her debut...every song on the album is a gem’ - Get In Her Ears
