BIOGRAPHY

www.myspace.com/jaidadreyer


She’s not just another pretty face, she’s an old soul with a story to tell. Behind the youthful, feminine exterior is a woman wise beyond her years. Defined with a steely grace and a voice guaranteed to captivate any audience, Jaida Dreyer appears to have ice water running through her veins. This gypsy girl has experienced a lot of life, which she aptly portrays in the songs that she writes.

Born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Jaida has lived in 7 different states, from one coast to the other, spending most of the last 9 years in the south, between Texas and Georgia. In the spotlight as a child, she won the hearts of audiences in both ice skating and horse arenas. When she was just a mere 5 years old, she won the first of many World Championship titles showing her horses. The nomadic, fast paced lifestyle of growing up on the road, inspired Jaida to write about her own adventures at an early age. After working on a few acting projects, including a major motion picture, a series for ABC and various music videos, she turned to her love of music

With yet another move, this time to Nashville, destiny quickly took control. Jaida has garnered overwhelming respect and interest within the industry and is becoming one of the most sought after, young songwriters in the business. In August of 2008, Jaida won the multi genre "Get Rich" talent show, sponsored by John Rich. Publishing deal offers came from all directions and she chose to land at SongGarden Music Publishing; a prestigious, boutique company headed by veteran, Grammy Award winning producer, Byron Gallimore. Jaida has established a solid and rapidly increasing fan base, both on a local and national level. Two of her biggest fans, Carolyn Dawn Johnson and John Rich, have become both mentors and active supporters within the team. Like a breath of fresh air her edgy lyrics, yet neo traditional sound, crosses genres and makes her one of the most promising, must see, artist/writers on the music scene today.

Legends: Bobby Braddock

In Nashville, most successful songwriters have a fairly short run. On hit, one year, two years, five years. Occasionally, we get one whose career approaches the length of a real career or, more often, one who has a few years success, then slips into oblivion, only to emerge again for another brief era of hit-making.

Legends: Robert Earl Keen

As singer/songwriters go, Robert Earl Keen doesn't seem like the kind of artist who could honestly be accused of sloth. But despite a catalog choked with characters and conversations pulled from a colorful life, he makes that very claim on "Something That I Do," a track where he brags of his ability to not let work get in the way of an otherwise pleasant afternoon.

Townes Van Zandt: Facets, Faults & Fractures

It's 10 o'clock at night on an abandoned Music Row. The year is 1985. In a third-floor office in an old house that serves as the offices for the Oak Ridge Boys' Silverline/Goldline Music Publishing, Steve Earle brings the chair he's leaning back in down hard, flipping his hair out of his eyes for emphasis.

Lyle Lovett: It Just Comes Natural

If the term "Americana" had not been coined, radio programmers, journalists and anyone else charged with sticking labels on music would still be pondering how to define Lyle Lovett's singular style.
