Musical artist

Zachary Jaydon was born in San Diego, California on November 13, 1979 and is the oldest of 9 children. He made his film-debut at the age of 2 as the youngest of the children in the 1983 made for television movie, The Gift of Love: A Christmas Story. The film starred Angela Lansbury, Lee Remick and Polly Holliday, and received rave reviews from fans and critics alike, with the two lead actresses being nominated for 1984 Golden Globe Awards.

Jaydon was featured in all 7 seasons of The Mickey Mouse Club (MMC) alongside Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Keri Russell, JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake & Ryan Gosling. The hit show ran from 1989 until 1995. After MMC, he spent the next two years pursuing acting, mostly in commercials, and began pursuing his interest of writing music on a more full-time level. He teamed up with fellow Mickey Mouse Club alumni, Justin Timberlake penning the now, RIAA Platinum Certified song "Be There."

The late 1990's were full of Television appearances on hit shows like 'Walker Texas Ranger,' a recuring role on 'Malibu Shores' with former 'Mickey Mouse Club' alumni Keri Russel and Tony Lucca. Jaydon also used the mid to late 1990's to obtain a BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Jaydon's entire education was paid for by academic and acting/vocal scholarships.

In 1998, he teamed up with Jeremy Jerla, Christian House, Aaron Notarious & Steven Peterson to form the Christian Alt-Rock Band Sacred Advocate. Not long after, Aaron Howard was added to the mix & the group spent two years touring & preparing to record a full-length album. A two song, Limited Edition EP was released in early 1999, and immediately sold-out. Sacred Advocate disbanded shortly after the second pressing was shipped. Both pressings of the album featured artwork hand-drawn by childhood friend, and then unknown author, Christopher Paolini.

In 2001, Jaydon received his first RIAA Multi-Platinum Album Award for his work on Craig David's "Key To My Heart". The song was released on David's Debut Album, "Born To Do It" as well as the international releases of the same name. The song was also featured on the award-winning Warner Brothers Animated Feature "Osmosis Jones", and was included in the soundtrack release for the film. In 2003, Jaydon Co-wrote "Work Of Angels" which was featured on Ian Maxian's Debut Solo Album. The song was written along with Greg Watton, Kenny Smith, & 4 Time #1, American Music Award Nominated & Billboard Award Winning Songwriter Eddie Galan. As of August, 2007 Jaydon continues his work with Watton on a number of projects.

2004 gave Jaydon his second Multi-Platinum award for his work on Ryan Cabrera's International Debut Album, "Take It All Away". Cabrera's follow-up album "You Stand Watching" (Bonus Disc Edition) featured Jaydon again co-writing the bonus disc track, "How It Feels (Acoustic Version)". The full studio version was featured as a B-Side on the International DJ Promo of "Take It All Away". Cabrera's sophomore album, You Stand Watching, released in 2005, awarded Jaydon his 3rd RIAA Multi-Platinum Album Award in less than 4 years.

In 2006 Jaydon completed a world-tour with singer/songwriter/producer/actor Ben Bledsoe. The tour included stops in Germany, France, England & the USA to promote Bledsoe's solo Debut "An Insomniac's Guide To A Lonely Heart", and played to audiences totaling more than half-a-million.

In July 2007, Jaydon filmed an episode of "Kyle XY," a show that he is self-admittedly obsessed with. His guest-starring role was his first acting gig in nearly 2 years. When asked what the most frustrating part of the filming was, he responded by saying "...and the producers don't tell you anything about the context of the episode. Everything to do with the plot is kept under super tight wraps, so even when you are shooting an episode, you have no idea what's actually going on." The show aired on ABC Family on January 14th, 2008. Jaydon is currently (March, 2008) working heavily with National Rock Act, Close To Home. He resides in Los Angeles, California and continues his work as a songwriter/producer full-time.
