Nadera Jackson, model, actress and recording artist was born on February 21st in Kingston, Jamaica. She was bitten by the entertainment bug at age ten when she was thrust into several school plays and she hasn’t looked back since.
When she migrated to Canada in 1997, Nadera studied her acting craft at The Reel Fact Film & Television Studio in Toronto and also at the Mark Baur Studio in Vancouver. Since then she has made her mark as one of Toronto’s and Jamaica’s finest Multi-Talented Artist. In 2009 after a grand performance in Canada’s first reggae musical “Soundclash” she was approached by Phylani Music’s Executives to record for their label and be a part of their artist roster.
Her first two singles “Cheater’s Loss” and “Tit 4 Tat” stayed at the number one position on the Canadian reggae charts for 8 weeks, and also climbed the South Florida, New York and Hype TV chart in Jamaica.
Nadera has graced stages In Jamaica and North America with several prominent reggae acts like Beres Hammond, Nesbeth, Richie Stephens, Frankie Paul and Inner Circle to rave reviews. She has also appeared on stage with Beenie Man, Movado, Chuck Fender and Serani.
In 2010 Nadera received her first award as “Top new dancehall dj” at the 5th Annual Sandra Bashment’s Community Achievement Awards and in 2011 she won the award for “Best Female Dj” at the Canadian Reggae Music Achievements Awards.

Recently Phylani Music released two singles “Candy Shop” and “Careless Bwoy” from her debut album slated to be release in summer of 2013.
