Canadian born singer/ songwriter and psychologist Jain Wells, will be supporting 2010 X Factor winner Matt Cardle on his UK tour ‘Unplugged’.

Performing songs from her ‘To Be Real’ album which was released late last year, Jain will be the opening act for the stint of shows beginning in Cork, Ireland on April 23rd.

Written by Jain, ‘To Be Real’ was produced by Greg Fitzgerald (Kylie, Madonna, Hall & Oates, Jessica Simpson) who, with Jain, created the perfect soundscape for her raw talent.

Jain has already been hugely successful in other aspects of her life, working as a magazine writer and editor in her native Canada, and spending a number of years as a therapist, gaining a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology.  Her work as a psychologist provided the motivation for the album. “I am completely intrigued by human behaviour and how we can take an active role in our growth and evolution, and that perspective naturally comes through when I write.”

Character and personality shine through her music, her strength is evident and makes her songs both powerful and relatable offering up some deeply personal accounts of her own life experience, while on a very subtle level it is an invitation to break away from the familiar to embrace new perspectives. She welcomes her audience into her anecdotal songs and allows her personal stories to permeate through the lyrics.

As well as supporting Matt Cardle on his tour, Jain is currently looking forward to releasing her new meditation CD ‘Luminosity One’ in June, along with a meditation book titled ‘Meditation: the incredible gateway to an abundant life’.

Working with producer Kipper, who is best known for producing and performing on Sting’s best selling solo album ‘Brand New Day’ as well as platinum albums ‘All This Time’ and ‘Sacred Love’, Jain has created music which aims to take listeners on a relaxing journey towards the interesting and incredibly beneficial world of meditation.

Currently guiding regular meditation groups and a teacher training programme in London, Jain is equally eager to begin touring with Matt Cardle and remains committed to her music.

"My love of sharing about meditation and other tools for personal transformation is no different than sharing my music as the content and perspective on life is the same. My music life also represents my own opportunity to grow. Matt is a great talent with a beautiful voice, and I am very appreciative and honoured to open his UK Tour,” says Jain.
