DJ, Grammy-nominated producer, biologist, podcast host, documentarian: Jayda G
is one of those rare artists who seems to have lived several lives at once. The British Columbia-born, London-based artist brings social awareness and emotional depth to everything she touches, filling her music with curiosity and intention. Jayda is now entering a new, joyful phase of her career, one where she’s proving that motherhood and club culture don’t have to exist in opposition.
That new chapter begins with ‘The Shiver’, an ecstatic piano house anthem engineered for dancefloors. The track is dedicated to her husband – her high school sweetheart, and from whom she spent a decade apart after they went to separate universities, before reuniting in 2020. When they got back together, Jayda felt a literal shiver of happiness – a sensation she wanted to bottle in her sound.
This creative rebirth is linked to her experience of becoming a mother – a fusion of the person she was before with the one she’s still discovering. “I know the old person super well, but she's not yet integrated into this new self, and it's all confusing,” she says. “I keep feeling like a teenager again – awkward in my mind and body.” Still, Jayda was determined to return from maternity leave with new music, a way of honouring the part of herself that existed before. “The intention was: I haven't been gone for long, I'm still here, still wanting to make dance tunes, and have a good time.”
