Jayda G, the Grammy-nominated writer, producer, DJ, environmental toxicologist, campaigner and broadcaster, returned with her new full length album ‘Guy’, in June on Ninja Tune. Drawing on her House, Disco, RnB & Soul roots, the tracks are interlaced with archival recordings of her late father, the eponymous William Richard Guy, that form the bedrock of the album’s narrative, capturing a small snapshot of the American experience told through the eyes of a young African American man. The album arrives on the back of a busy few years that have seen her Grammy-nominated for her mid-pandemic single “Both Of Us”, created with producer Fred again..; release a trove of high-profile remixes for the likes of Taylor Swift & Dua Lipa; tour the world’s biggest festival stages including Glastonbury & Coachella; release a compilation for the renowned DJ Kicks series; appear as a guest judge on BBC’s ‘Glow Up’; and contribute to the immersive climate-focussed installation ‘Undercurrent’ alongside artists like Khruangbin, Nosaj Thing, Mount Kimbie and Bon Iver.
