Jamaican-Irish rapper JayaHadADream is one of the UK’s most exciting new voices, blending raw, introspective lyricism with grime and hip hop influences. Raised in Cambridge and shaped artistically in Nottingham, she took an unconventional path into music—starting a career teaching A-Level Criminology at just 21, before leaving the profession in 2023 to pursue music full-time. Her breakout came in 2024 when she won the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition, handpicked by Michael and Emily Eavis, earning a coveted slot on one of the festival’s main stages. Since then, she’s lit up Reading, Leeds, Boomtown, BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, and SXSW London, with a range of packed sets at Glastonbury 2025.
Known for her emotive delivery and sharp pen, Jaya has received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone UK, NME, and TRENCH, with airplay on BBC Radio 1, Capital Xtra and Kiss. Her bold, genre-spanning sound has led to standout collaborations in both rap and electronic music, including tracks with Zero and Gardna. With co-signs from Mick Jenkins, Stormzy and so many more, JayaHadADream is defining the future of UK rap.
