Gigmann LIVE supported by Quids Inn are proud to present: Jade Thornton
This Friday night (19th June) Jade Thornton will be taking over our Facebook page artist livestream! You can catch her at 9PM UK time by clicking HERE on our Facebook page
Jade is a 20 year old busker / singer-songwriter based in South London. She has been singing since she can remember and started to learn guitar at the age of 14, after convincing her parents to get lessons.
I declined a full time job promotion in Dec 2017 & just decided to get out on my local high streets as much as possible! As the years have passed, the jobs have definitely picked up which is matched by my growing social media audience.
Song-writing was an obstacle for her to overcome, but went on to place top 10 in the country in the ‘Song Academy’s Young Songwriter’ competition with her song ‘Only Me’ in 2017 and took part in the 2017 Mayor of London’s ‘Busk in London’ competition.
After completing her academic years, gaining qualifications in music performance and music technology, and trying various jobs, she decided to take the plunge and do music full time. Now Jade performs around her local high streets, plays local gigs and has recently obtained her licence to play in London’s busiest train stations.

She says ” I declined a full time job promotion in Dec 2017 & just decided to get out on my local high streets as much as possible! As the years have passed, the jobs have definitely picked up which is matched by my growing social media audience. Last year I had the great opportunity to head over to Norway on four separate occasions for a scheme called ‘London Calling.’ I had the opportunity to play in a school, many pubs, a care home, a football launch party & even a local festival. This is where I have also been lucky enough to record my EP that should hopefully be coming out within the next few months! I constantly get asked about releasing music so I am incredibly excited to share it with everyone!”
