Early Life and Family Background
Jaden Nicolas Bojsen was born on August 1, 2000, on the island of Sylt, Germany. He is the son of Brian Bojsen, a chef who later became a well-known television personality, particularly on ZDF cooking shows. Jaden grew up alongside his younger sister, Sienna Bojsen, who is a social media celebrity. From an early age, Jaden showed a strong interest in music and acting, a passion that would shape his future career.
Acting Beginnings
At the age of 10, Jaden made his debut in the entertainment industry when he was cast as the young Tarzan in the German musical adaptation of Tarzan. He performed this role from 2010 to 2012, gaining early recognition for his acting talents. In 2014, Jaden appeared in the trailer for the musical The Miracle of Bern. The same year, he was cast in the children’s television series The Peppercorns, further establishing his presence in the acting world.
Transition to Music
In 2015, Jaden shifted his focus to music by joining the US-based boy band New District. The group, formed under the mentorship program of ISINA Music, was designed to bring together young musicians from around the world. The band included members Sean Cavaliere, Dylan Rey, Julian Martel, and Devin Dressman and followed the classic boy-band structure popularized in the 1990s.
New District released their debut single “Closer” in 2016, which was produced by Emmy-nominated Emile Ghantous. The song got over two million views on YouTube within its first year of release, eventually getting over 3.5 million views. The band followed up with another successful single, “Ain’t Got Money,” which gained over six million views on YouTube. The group also covered popular songs such as “Thinking out Loud” by Ed Sheeran and “Stitches” by Shawn Mendes, which helped them build a significant fanbase.
During their active years, New District made a strong impact on the music scene, particularly in the US, where they targeted major markets like New York, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles. The group was nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the category of Choice Music: Next Big Thing, and their single “Closer” became the most-requested song on Radio Disney Mailbag for several weeks.
Solo Career and DJing
In 2017, Jaden decided to leave New District to pursue a solo career. He signed with GC Records and released his debut solo single, “Better than Me,” in October 2017, followed by a cover of The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” in November of the same year. Despite these releases not achieving significant commercial success, they marked the beginning of Jaden’s journey as a solo artist.
In 2018, Jaden signed with Warner Music Germany and released the single “The Weekend,” which gained over half a million views on YouTube. This period also marked his official entry into the DJ scene, a passion he had nurtured since childhood at the age of just 9. Jaden performed as a DJ at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami in 2018, which was a significant milestone in his career.
Ongoing Musical Projects
Jaden has continued to expand his discography with a series of singles, including “Fall For Love” (2019), “Taking Shape” (2020), “Remedy” (2020), and “Poppin Bottles” (2020). He has collaborated with various artists such as Jake Reese, Willemijn May, Chico Rose, and Ely Ray, demonstrating his ability to blend different musical styles. This was followed by “I Go Hard” (2022), “People Help the People” (2022), “Message” (2023), and “Put Your Drinks Up” (2023).
His more recent releases include the hit single “Let’s Go,” which placed Jaden alongside legends like David Guetta and Armin van Buuren at Ushuaïa Ibiza. Additionally, “Let’s Go” has charted worldwide, with millions of streams, gaining viral fame on TikTok and Shazam. After “Let’s Go” exploded, Alt Vision Sony came on board to collaborate with Batty Records–a record label that Jaden and his manager, Sascha, founded.
To wrap up a very successful summer in 2024, Jaden released another hit single, “Thinking About You,” which is already gaining massive support from fans and is poised to outshine even “Let’s Go.”

One such opportunity was Jaden’s performance at Ushuaïa Ibiza, one of the world’s most iconic venues for electronic music. This performance marked a high point in Jaden’s DJ career, earning him praise from both fans and industry insiders.
According to Jaden’s interviews and his interactions with fans, his biggest drive comes from his fans, whom he credits as the force behind his success. He frequently acknowledges that none of his achievements would be possible without his loyal team. Jaden’s guiding motto is “One passion, music.”
