Her deal:
piano began at age 4. With a noticeably keen ear for music she later began teaching herself voice by observing and imitating her idol at the time. After years of practice and formal education she received her music degree from San Diego State University. Upon graduation Jane began making waves in the San Diego music scene as part of the power pop duo Jason And Jane by opening for the likes of Jason Mraz, Lisa Sanders, and Emm Gryner and quickly establishing her reputation as a singer of merit.
Having officially launched her solo career on Valentines Day 2004, Jane has already shared stages with the likes of Vienna Teng, Kyler England, Eddie from Ohio, Gregory Page, and Danielle Lo Presti. All the while she continues to create new music, growing as a musician, singer, songwriter and interpreter of images.
Teargirl, Jane’s Debut Album was released May 2005 with instruments such as tablas, toy piano, harp, harpsichord, pipe organ pedals, brass, & strings. Produced by Jane and Aaron Bowen, recorded a 16-track Akai. no digital editing, no pitch corrector.
the production duo teamed up again for her second record, BARKENTINE, released on Sept 14, 2007

944, July 2005 :: by Vicki Marangos
The first time we saw Jane play, she was on stage with Dustin Shey, performing a rendition of The Postal Services Such Great Heights, using a 10-note marimba and a toy piano. And while her sexy, captivating voice does not reveal her quirky yet undeniably charming personality, her music does offer an ample view into the inner workings of her complex imagination. Janes new album, Teargirl, is rich with metaphor, capitalizing on stunning vocals to bring elements of fantasy to life through simple stories. In light of her first full-length, Jane launched an entire Web site dedicated to the album, where she provides fans with an up-close look at the concept behind each track, the challenges while recording and those who helped her bring it to life. Her explanations are certainly as eloquent as her craft. An absolute must-hear.

"Jane Lui may no longer be known as just "Jane," formerly of Jason and Jane, after the old acolytes hear her debut CD. Teargirl finds this seasoned neophyte knocking it out of the solo artist ballpark far enough to clear the wall into the bleachers, but not enough to put the excessive pressure of an unbeatable precedent on future efforts. In other words, it’s just about as ideal a debut as it gets....." Troubadour, July 2005
