Jaida Champney is a singer-songwriter from in Gympie, blending elements of indie, folk, pop, and jazz into her own warm, soulful sound.
A regular on the local live music scene, Jaida brings heart and authenticity to every performance, with a natural ability to connect with her audience and create a relaxed, engaging atmosphere.
In February 25, she released her first-ever single Never Loved Me and has since then release her second single 'Yellow Leaves'.
Jaida is no stranger to the festival stages, having played at Camp For A Cure in 2025 and Sublime Fest later in 2026.
Since then, she has shared the stage acclaimed artists such as Ella Fence, Christian Patey & Emma Quit the Bakery.
In 2023, she was awarded Best Performer at the Glenwood Open Mic.
These moments solidified her role as a rising voice in grassroots music — one that speaks with purpose.
At only 21, after a life-altering car accident in 2024, Jaida made the decision to pursue her dreams without compromise. Her music became more than a passion — it became a promise to live truthfully and connect deeply, every time she stepped onto a stage.
This is a song about loving someone who couldn’t meet you halfway. Never Loved Me was written in a moment of emotional exhaustion — a quiet confession of feeling unseen. It’s raw, reflective, and honest. The kind of release that only songwriting could offer.
