About Jade

One of Australia's most talented female vocalists, Jade MacRae was born to professional musician parents and trained at a young age at Sydney's Conservatorium of Music in piano and violin. It was her exceptional voice, however, that would lead to her redefining pop music in Australia.

Writing and recording her debut record around the world with some of the world best recording artists, Jade received multiple awards in Australia including APRAs, a stack of ARIA nominations and also toured alongside musical legends such as James Brown, Nelly and John Legend.

During this time she was involved in some Australia's biggest sporting events, hosting and performing. She also sang the Australian anthem at the recent prestigious Australian Grand Prix.

Recently, Jade has been writing for many different projects and recently collaborated writing and preforming alongside her husband in the ARIA nominated Best Urban release Babylon.

In March 2013 she released her first EP as Dune Oh Innocence, following her self-titled LP Jade MacRae (2005) and her follow-up Get Me Home (2008).
