JANITA - Sensual Soulful Eclectic

About Me

FOR FREE DOWNLOADS AND BLOG, PLEASE VISIT WWW.JANITA.COM AND SIGNUP. This is a very short version of my long story in the music business: I've been a singer since the age of 13. I was pretty much an overnight success in my home country Finland, winning two Finnish Grammy Awards and receiving some top recognition already in my first year of being an artist. I then moved to NY at 17 to chase my dreams and for the last 10 years I've been living in Brooklyn, NY. I've struggled, plenty, but have also evolved and enjoyed the whole process along the way...I know I'm very lucky to be able to do what I want in life!I recently released my new album Seasons of Life and will now be promoting it around the States as much as I can. If you would like to receive notifications of when I'll be in your area, please sign up on my website www.janita.com. I rarely send invites through myspace...Here are some reviews of my music:BILLBOARD: "A sensual, musical mosaic.Immediately snag a copy." MARIE CLAIRE: "Janita keeps listeners hooked...HEAR IT!" ECHOES: "This album creeps up and blows you away. Reminiscent of Sade at her best. Imbibers of class sign here." VILLAGE VOICE: "This belle can belt and pen. Janita teems with vocal wattage and knows it." SOULEXPRESS: Jazzy soul masterpiece that has touches of genius and is atmospheric beyond belief."
