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, singer/songwriter 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. 

A native of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Jaida has lived in 7 different states, from one coast to the other. 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.

Jaida now resides in Nashville, Tennessee.  She quickly garnered overwhelming respect and interest within the industry and has become one of the most sought after, young songwriters in the business. 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. Having recently gained a sponsorship with Jagermeister, Jaida has been on the road with heavy hitting acts across the US, along with having her songs recently recorded by major label artists.

With an eclectic songwriting style, Jaida pens her songs with the likes of Americana royalty Guy Clark, Mary Gauthier, Kevin Welch and Bruce Robison. Refusing to limit herself to any one genre, included on that roster are Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon) and Jaren Johnston (American Bang).

Jaida is currently in the studio with producer Byron Gallimore working on her debut release.  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.

“Songwriting gets harder and harder, unless you just want to try to write a better version of what you’ve already done,” said Merle Haggard, 73, sitting in a Middle Tennessee studio and making clear that he wants much more than that.
