JAID began his music career in Denver, CO and quickly found himself playing sold-out shows all over town highlighted by performances at The Bluebird, Soiled Dove and the Fox Theater. JAID was invited to Los Angeles to record the four song EP "Make No Mistake", at Maurice White's, Magnet Vision Studio. Playing alongside JAID were studio legends, including Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Frank Zappa to name but a few) and Rafael Padilla (Shakira, Chris Isaak, Sade). "Make No Mistake" went on to sell over 45,000 copies, while JAID was performing at LA's top venues (Whisky-a-go-go, The Viper Room, The Roxy, The Troubadour, The Key Club, and at The Grove of Anaheim).
JAID's live performances are nothing short of incredible. JAID was selected as LA's "Best New Band" by Billboard Live Magazine. "I have seen the future of music, and the future is JAID"-Kat Whaller, Billboard Live.
JAID recorded and released "Blinded" which was picked up by an unheard of 137 Top 40 radio stations across the US!!! "Blinded" received 40+ spins a week on over 75 stations! The success of "Blinded" catapulted JAID into the national conscience. "Best New Band"-KZFN (Id), "Band of the Year"-KKSR(Mn). And while JAID had been playing and writing music his whole life, he never thought that he would be embarking on what would become a life of connecting with people musically, "This journey has been more than I could have dreamed, the musician's I have played with, the people I have met, and the fans that have responded to something that I wrote...all of it has been amazing".
In May of 2006, JAID was asked to be a part of Rehearsals.com, which is a new cutting edge website developed to bring the fans into the rehearsal studio with their favorite artists. JAID has been selected as an "Emerging Artist" and is NOW featured on REHEARSALS.COM! Check out the LIVE (Free) performance of "Blinded"...amazing.
In January 2007, JAID was asked to write the title track and score the original soundtrack for the film "Not For Sale". The film examines the hidden world of child slavery, and JAID is a strong advocate for the notforsalecampaign.org foundation. The film will be released in March, 2007...Go to www.notforsalecampaign.org for more information!!!
JAID is currently working on his major label debut album, your continued support is not only appreciated, it is necessary. "Making connections with new fans is what I'm about, I love music, and if I can be a small part of what someone love's about music, I have succeeded"

Just stopped in to say "hi" and to tell you that I just bought your album on iTunes. Great songs!
I wanted you to know that I've never bought anything from iTunes before (I prefer the actual CDs), but for you, I created an iTunes account, had to update the iTunes software to the latest version, and bought from them for the very first time, ever... I hope you feel special now... ;-)
I'd been waiting to see if you came out with a CD, but could wait no longer.
Anyway, take care, and keep the music coming... I like... :)
