About Me

Fiercely independent, creative and full of musical passion, Janus Jeffrey Wilde was born to a mixed race couple whose varying musical tastes gave way to his eclectic musical style. Janus navigates through from Rock to R&B to Punk to Funk, all in a heartbeat. In short, Janus IS music. Fond of Jimi, Bowie, Prince, Zeppelin, Joni, Me’Shell N"degeOcello, Timbaland, and even Lil Louis, Janus jumps from style to style offering an honest rendition of each. It is rare to find an artist as capable, open-minded, expressive and emotional as Janus. Emotionality is what makes him tick. Dont piss him off! He may well right a song about you like his scathing tune "Miserable Prick," or his Prince influenced ditty about an ex called "Fu*k You". Janus is constantly crafting new tunes as his emotional nature enables him to take a seemingly insignificant and transient events like a momentary crush, and turn them into songs like ""Lets Just Lay Beneath the Stars," and "Be Free." Be it the end of a relationship, betrayal, happiness, perceived abandonment, loneliness or malaise, Janus manages to capture the essence of the emotion and transform it into song. All songs are written, produced, composed, arranged and performed by Janus.
