Jaden Michaels is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. In her career as a songwriter, she has collaborated with some of Pop music's biggest stars including Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Carly Rae Jepsen, Jessica Mauboy, Robin Thicke, Jordin Sparks, Lea Michele, Naya Rivera, Both in 2012 and 2013, Michaels co-wrote one of the songs performed on the season finale of "American Idol," with the latter becoming Season 12 champion Candice Glover's debut single "I Am Beautiful." Her songwriting work on Carly Rae Jepsen's album Kiss received the 2013 Juno Award for "Album of the Year." She is professionally represented by Pulse Recording.

She was born and raised in Davenport, Iowa, and moved to Santa Clarita, CA with her family at age 9. After singing karaoke at a local pizza establishment, Michaels was discovered by a talent agent who introduced her to the acting coach who would ultimately help secure her an audition with what would be her first professional performing group called Mac 7. The group toured in the early 2000s performing with Jesse McCartney, Orlando Brown, Khleo Thomas, and Lalaine. At age 11, Michaels left Mac 7 in 2003 to begin her pursuit of a solo singing career. She would attend the Hollywood Pop Academy on scholarship, and was eventually introduced to a music executive seeking to put together an all-female Pop group. Although being selected for the group, she soon decided not to continue on with them. This decision would ultimately help pave the way to her success. After spending many hours in the studio as a songwriter and backing vocalist, Jaden Michaels met songwriter Joleen Belle and the two wrote the song "I Am Beautiful," which eventually became the coronation song for Candice Glover on "American Idol" Season 12. By age 20, Michaels had signed a publishing deal with Pulse Recording. May 20, 2014 she released her debut single "Walk On" through record company MP45.
