Working in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years, and after studying film and television production (School of Visual Arts), sound engineering (School of Audio Engineering), and attending the Australian Film, Television and Radio School, Jayden initially carved out his career in the music industry.
As a professional musician, composer and engineer, he worked with many top Australian artists including Hunters and Collectors, Crowded House, 1927 and Margaret Urlich, before finally earning a reputation as one of Sydney's top cocktail pianists.
Jayden is also a passionate Web3 builder and loves the concept of non-linear storytelling. He is currently the creative lead and co-founder of Crypts of Horus, an exciting action series being simultaneously developed as a Web3 Role-Playing Game (RPG) as well as an animated feature film. Set on Horus, the outermost planet in the Cryptos Galaxy, the story is heavily inspired by Ancient Egyptian culture. He was previously Creative Director of another game, Battle Fort Knox.
Although spending the vast majority of his life behind the scenes, Jayden is a passionate advocate and speaker about organ donation and heart health. Having survived end-stage heart failure, Jayden was kept alive for 15 months by an artificial heart. While waiting for a heart transplant, he refused to be defined by his situation and subsequently climbed Mount Kosciuszko and ran the City to Surf - all with his mechanical heart strapped around his waist. He delivers an engaging and emotional talk about 'living a life with purpose'.
Jayden has also established TWO not for profit organisations.
FOREVER GRATEFUL is social enterprise which aims to raise awareness of organ donation, as well as support medical research in cardiac health and organ transplantation through targeted initiatives and social propagation.
A passionate, cause-based organisation, Forever Grateful specialises in provocative and engaging story-telling for community, health, and social awareness campaigns that seek to effect change.
SURVIVOR SHIRTS are a celebration of life. They represent gratitude and humility. But most of all, they are a daily reminder of what we can achieve when our backs are against the wall. Just like scars become a badge of honour, Survivor Shirts are worn with pride and acceptance.
100% of the profit from every Survivor Shirt sale is donated to
The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute.
