Early life
Jaud was born in Kelowna, British Columbia to June (née Laxdal), who was of Icelandic descent and Daniel Jaud, an accountant. At the age of five, she began training with the Canadian School of Ballet for eleven years. She also studied piano for six years with the Royal Conservatory of Music.
Career
Jaud appeared on-camera in four television series The X-Files, The Outer Limits, Double Exposure, and Andromeda.
In 2004, Jaud narrated the Emmy Award-winning series Adoption Stories and traveled to New York for the event. But it was her voiceover work on the animated series Ed, Edd n Eddy that had the greatest impact. Jaud met children from the Make-A-Wish Foundation who faced life-threatening diseases. After this experience, she created 'The Magic of Think' and began writing books, music, nursery rhymes, and videos to help children develop strength and courage.
In 2008, Jaud released her first album in the Christmas music genre. She wrote songs with tongue-in-cheek humor. Many of these jazz songs have been chosen to be in films such as Blond and Blonder, American Mary, Debbie Macomber's Dashing Through the Snow, and Making Mr. Right.
From 2010 to 2012, Jaud released several singles.
