Biography

Jayda G, the Grammy-nominated writer, producer, DJ, environmental toxicologist, campaigner and broadcaster, is set to return with her new full-length album ‘Guy’, out June 9th on Ninja Tune. Drawing on her House, Disco, RnB & Soul roots, the tracks are interlaced with archival recordings of her late father, the eponymous William Richard Guy, that form the bedrock of the album’s narrative, capturing a small snapshot of the American experience told through the eyes of a young African American man. The album arrives on the back of a busy few years that have seen her Grammy-nominated for her mid-pandemic single “Both Of Us”, created with producer Fred again..; release a trove of high-profile remixes for the likes of Taylor Swift & Dua Lipa; tour the world’s biggest festival stages including Glastonbury & Coachella; release a compilation for the renowned DJ Kicks series; appear as a guest judge on BBC’s ‘Glow Up’; and contribute to the immersive climate-focussed installation ‘Undercurrent’ alongside artists like Khruangbin, Nosaj Thing, Mount Kimbie and Bon Iver. She has recently embarked on a life-changing journey whilst undertaking filming for the forthcoming feature-length documentary ‘Blue Carbon’, which took her to the front lines of the climate crisis to meet with those communities already affected by the looming catastrophe. The film is from BAFTA and Emmy-winning director Nicolas Brown and is hosted by Jayda with original music by Wu-Tang’s RZA.
