Jade’s first solo project, Watercolours, won her the New Zealand Music Award’s Critic Choice prize in 2012.[4] In 2014, she released her second EP, Beacons, her first release as Chelsea Jade. That year she participated in the Red Bull Music Academy in Tokyo, Japan.[5]

In 2015 she relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her own artist career as well as writing songs for others.[6]

Jade was a recipient of a 2017 APRA professional development award, presented every two years to three New Zealand songwriters and composers who demonstrate outstanding potential in their field.[7]

Her first full-length album Personal Best was released on 20 July 2018.[8] It includes collaborations with New Zealand producers Leroy Clampitt (Big Taste), Sam McCarthy (BoyBoy), Justin Pilbrow, and American producer Brad Hale (of Now, Now).[9]
