Jadyn Marie recently signed to Universal Motown Records

While Kristinia DeBarge is definitely having a fruitful summer, about to jump into the lime-light is Jadyn Maria, who recently signed to Universal Motown Records (congratulations to her)! This Puerto Rican born (but Nashville native) joined forces with Flo-Rida to release her debut single, “Good Girls Like Bad Boys”. Like many other female artists this summer, Jadyn’s debut single is decently catchy and will be sure to find a top spot on radio station countdowns.

From what I understand, it’s been a long road for Jadyn Maria, who has actually had a music career since 2002. Beyond that, I don’t know too much about who this artist “used to” be (i.e. I hear a lot of people claiming to like her “old stuff”, which I personally know nothing about). But what I do know is that we’re all probably going to be seeing a lot more of this starlet as the rest of 2009 unfolds. She’s already being considered as “Ne-Yo’s protégé”, which definitely carries a lot of weight in itself (regardless of her musical talent). She’s even paired with huge names such as Katy Perry and Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes) for her debut album. With such artists backing her, there is really no doubt in my mind that we will be hearing a lot more from Jaydn Maria. As Ne-Yo has said about her:

“A sweet tone, a gorgeous smile, a bubbly yet strong persona—not to mention a rather strong pen game—made Jadyn Maria just what I was looking for. It’s these attributes that will also make her a name you will remember.”

Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year has in store for Jadyn Marie. Congratulations again, girl!
