Jadyn Douglas (previously known as Jadyn Maria), born April 20, 1985, is a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter and actress. At the age of seventeen, she was signed to EMI and later to Universal Motown in 2008, releasing a couple of singles to little commercial success. Douglas then started a country-pop trio with her sister (Jaclyn) and brother-in-law (Blake) in 2014 called Arten Way.
At the same time, she began taking roles as an actress and in 2015 was cast in a supporting role for Eva Longoria's Telenovela on NBC.
Jadyn Douglas was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico but grew up in Nashville, Tennessee from age two. She was the first daughter born to Dan Douglas, Southern Baptist pastor, and wife Rosa. Her father is of Scottish descent and her mother is Puerto Rican. Her family's Christian background meant that she was immersed in Christian music. She began singing in church from age two. At 17 Jadyn was signed to EMI/CMG, after being spotted singing at a wedding. She later appeared on the debut album by former Christian band Avalon member Jody McBrayer. She was also asked to record a cover of "With or Without You" with hip-hop group GRITS on the U2 tribute album In the Name of Love: Artists United for Africa.
After being spotted by an ad agency, Jadyn and one of her songs, "Rock You Senseless", were featured in Clairol's 2004 Herbal Essence campaign. She also appeared on What I Like About You as part of the campaign.
