Up until we got Ladii Jade’s photos, we hadn’t done ANY Q&A’s with any Asians for a long while. But Ladii Jade stopped the dry spell. This lovely has been in a lot of websites and music videos, including a music video with fellow New Yorker Maino. We’re glad that she found us, and here are her answers to our favourite Q&A.
So, “Ladii Jade” huh? That’s an interesting name. What made you choose it as your stage name?
“Jade” was given to me at a younger age, maybe at around 13. As I got a little older and started to model I added “Ladii” to it. It gives Jade a little bit more of a flavour.

I was born and raised in New York City. Life growing up wasn’t difficult from what I remember. A little above the average.

American-born Chinese.

Yes, BMCC.
