Jade Thornton is a 24 year old busker / singer-songwriter based just North of 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. 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. In 2021, Jade was lucky enough to get two cover tracks on ITVs 'Love Island', amassing over 50,000 streams. She also released her debut studio EP titled ‘Pages’, which consists of 5 original songs and can be found on all major streaming platforms. Now you can find Jade frequently performing on the Souhtbank under the famous London Eye, and has even taken her music to Amsterdam, Norway and as of October 2022; South Korea, where she placed in the top 60 for the 1st Buskers World Cup!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The variety of my setlist always goes down a storm!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

My first paid gig was at Royal Sandhurst Academy; and the variation has been wide ever since. I have played at various pubs, beautiful wedding venues and even above the Arts Theatre in London and the Theatre Cafe.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I’d be lying if I said Ed Sheeran didn’t influence my career! Many others have influenced along the way, including Tory Kelly, Dodie, Maisie Peters and more generally; the genre of musical theatre.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I would say either Royal Sandhurst or the Theatre Cafe. I’ve also been interviewed on BBC Radio London and had 2 tracks featured on Love Island 2021. As of 2023, I have also played at both the Old Park Lane and Piccadilly Hard Rock Cafes.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

That is no problem at all. All I ask is that you try and give me notice, but I am usually quite flexible!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

I can provide an instrumental playlist through my amp between sets!

How much time do you need to set up?

Around 20 minutes is required to set up; my setup is very contained.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Sure! I can either select some that I think would fit to your event, or you can pick any from my setlist! I will not be offended if you tell me which ones you don't want me to play either!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Everything required is provided by me!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

I can learn two songs for free for you (most popular for first dances or aisle entrances) but anything extra will be £20 each.

Despite Jade having to cancel due to illness, I can't thank her enough for going above and beyond and for being so kind and caring. Jade was amazing at keeping me informed. She did all the work involved in sourcing an excellent replacement and she spent time learning additional songs. I'm so sorry I didn't get to meet you Jade. I wish you a very happy and successful future.

Jade played our garden party 20th May and was just perfect for what we needed. She created a relaxed vibe with her lovely mix of song choices and sounded wonderful despite being outside. All of our guests said how good she was. Thank you Jade

Thank you, Jade, for playing such a beautiful set at our wedding; you created the most wonderful atmosphere following our ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved listening to you and dancing along, from my beautiful nan to my two-year-old nephew! And a special thank you for adding the extra songs you kindly learned for us to your set list - our friends loved that special touch of hearing you play songs that mean so much to our friendship groups - we're so grateful, thank you!
