Background

Jade is forthcoming about her experiences with typically contentious issues. In a 2018 episode of Real Talk titled 'Plastic Surgery', she shared that she had done breast augmentation surgery to increase her cup size from 30C to E as well as a permanent rhinoplasty that cost her S$10,000.[1]

Early life & family

Jade Rasif was born on 21 January 1994 to David Rasif and Joyce Fong. In an interview with Dyslexia Association Singapore (DAS), Jade shared that she was diagnosed with dyslexia at 8 years old.[2] She managed her condition through learning programmes at DAS and support from her mother. Jade's biological father is an ex-lawyer and a fugitive wanted by Singapore.[3] He left the family in 2006 when he absconded with S$11.3 million of his client’s money. At the time, Jade was a Primary 6 student about to sit for her Primary School Leaving Examinations.[4] The eldest of three siblings, Jade has two younger sisters - Tyen Rasif and Khym Fong.

Jade went to CHIJ Toa Payoh Primary School and subsequently, Saint Joseph’s Institution International (SJII) school. She completed her pre-university studies at Catholic Junior College (CJC) where she scored five distinctions in her GCE 'A' Level examinations.[5] Jade furthered her studies at the National University of Singapore (NUS), graduating with a degree in Psychology.

"It (her DJ career) started off as a hobby that just got more and more addictive. Then, I signed with an agency and my career simply took off."[12]

As a DJ in Singapore, she reportedly earns up to S$1,000 for a one-hour set.[13] Jade started her professional career in 2015 when she signed to the Singaporean DJ agency, Altra Management.[14] Over the years, Jade has built an international presence having DJ-ed at overseas clubs and festivals.
