Jaden Chris is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and educator originally from New Jersey, but now a resident of Gloucester, MA. He is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, where he earned his B.M. in Professional Music, with concentrations in Guitar Performance and Jazz Composition. He started teaching in 2018 while still at Berklee with the hopes of making music more accessible to all. Aiming to inspire each of his students to create the kind of music they love, he tailors his curriculum for each student to fit their learning needs, goals, and musical passions. He believes that everyone has the ability to be good at making music if they take the time to nurture it.
Jaden is a multi-instrumentalist with many years of training on guitar, bass, drums, piano, and more. He also enjoys composing and producing music, and has arranged songs for artists ranging from 20 piece jazz ensembles to independent rappers or pop singers. Jaden integrates music technology and engineering into his lessons, giving students the opportunity to learn on state of the art music software.
While at Berklee, Jaden served as a Resident Assistant for Berklee's main dorm building, 160 Mass. Ave. It was here he discovered his love for being a part of a musical community, including organizing concerts and events for student education and enjoyment. Since collaborating with Alexandra, he has been a big help in planning, organizing, and executing concerts and events for students. He hopes to organize more opportunities for students in the future, including a music summer camp and band program.
When Jaden isn't practicing an instrument, teaching, or producing music, he enjoys hanging out with his cats Earl & Jasper, computer programming, reading, studying the arts and cinematography, collecting records, playing video games and going to the gym.
