Just before Shadowhunters Season 3 aired (in Spring of 2019) Basic Stuff Magazine had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with actor and musician Jade Hassouné (who plays Meliorn) on our social media accounts for the epic hybrid #BasicJadeStuff. Throughout the day we treated fans to exclusive artwork, album teases (some of his amazing music is out now), and a little peek into Jade’s daily life. We finished off the day with an exclusive interview, featuring the lovely art of Jo L.
In honor of Jade’s recent music releases, we decided to take a little walk down memory lane!
First things first, we gave our profile a little makeover…

Jade went on to share some of the things he was looking forward to at the time…
He also let the curious (nosy) have some insight into how he usually starts his day.
Jade also shared the three things he can’t live without (aww, kitty).

We pried further into his musical world and got our new favorite feel-good song (also Jade’s) and other artists recommended to us.
Jade went on to SPOIL us and gave us a cheeky little inside look at his full album song list…

As the season hadn’t aired yet, Jade played a little 2 Truths and a Lie (as Meliorn) game with the fans… Do you know which is the lie?

Jade’s character, Meliorn, is a rather magical being, and he was lovely enough to dive further into his own feelings on the everyday magic.
