About Me

SINGER/SONGWRITER, PRODUCER/SOUND DESIGNER, PHOTOGRAPHER, FILMMAKER.
Under the alias of 'Dub-bode', Jaidene Veda first began producing and promoting Live House events, fusing Jazz horn sections with deep house DJ's and her freestyle vocals. From the Underground club circuit to the Arts Community, Fashion House launches for Holt Renfrew to Canadian Jazz festivals, the self-promoting songstress developed a diverse local audience.
After co-producing her first indie electronica albums, Jaidene was featured on several internationally released 12" singles and CD compilations. Her latest EP remixed by London's House luminary, Pete Heller, landed a spot on Pete Tong's "Essential Buzz Chart" upon release, and climbed to no.24 after 9 weeks on the Billboard Club Chart.
Jaidene is also an award winning Filmmaker and Sound Designer. Recognized at several International Graduate Film Festivals, for 'Outstanding Videomaking Achievement'; nominations for 'Best Experimental' & 'Best Original Music'; and receiving top honors for 'Best Sound' in Toronto and Vancouver; she continued to direct and post an award winning commercial for the sponsoring executives at 'PEPSI' (VIEW AD- http://www.vfs.com/news.php?id=11&news_id=405).
"The epitome of artist, vocally and otherwise. Inspired. Driven. But the real treat is the connection to the audience, Jaidene's work touches the listener in ways not yet found but at once familiar, and like a poet of notes and sounds her prose is immediately pertinent to the heart and soul of any who venture to hear."
