Søren Gaden is a Danish communications manager at Vega [1] and JazzDanmark and the founder of Gaden PR & Kommunikation, specialized in cultural communication.

Gaden became a fan of Frank Zappa at age 12. According to Gaden (Interviewed by Jyllands Posten): "Frank Zappa doesn't sound like anyone else. He mixes all genres and writes some fantastic socially critical texts with many layers. Much of the music that is created today is made with the aim of selling and being played on the radio - the main purpose of my job is also to help music get on its way commercially, but that is not Zappa's goal, and that is liberating - and perhaps that is precisely why I really admire his project." [2]

Gaden's name is listed in the liner notes of the contributions to FZ:OZ [3] and The MOFO Project/Object. [4]

Gaden wrote the chapter about Frank Zappa's concerts to Denmark for the book Frank Zappa - The Nordic Stories (2020). [5]

Gaden also sang and played keyboards in the Danish Zappa tribute band Mystery Men. They performed at Amager Bio, Denmark on 12 December 2013. [6] He also plays piano. [7]

Gaden additionally wrote a review about Alex Winter's documentary Zappa!. [8]
