Insane Jane

About Me


The only true insanity in the world of Insane Jane is refusing to listen to the ear-catching wonders of this pop and acoustic rock artist's mesmerizing output. Songwriting is an innate, natural talent for Insane Jane; each of the band's songs is an arrow and each flies true and straight, striking without error the emotional target. This is a band whose writing reveals musicians who know the human spirit inside and out and represent musically it with gusto, verve and energy via their songs songs.
Power of Freedom
Rock in all its forms – from folk to metal – has always been about self-empowerment and finding identity in the middle of a world built on cookie-cutter philosophy and lifestyles. “Music makes us feel powerful and liberated.” Music, indeed, in the right hands, is a tool to unlock the chains others place around us and which we place around ourselves. It is a pathway to opening one's mind and finding the doorway to true personal freedom. “Music makes me feel uniquely free to express myself,” says Tanya Smith of Insane Jane. “Music embodies me and takes my spirit for a magical ride.” It should be apparent by now that Insane Jane is one of those artists who know how to properly wield the tool that is music.
Life
Whatever inspiration an artist cites, it all boils down to one thing. Life. Everything that interacts with us and thus acts as inspiration is a part of life. One just has to have the broad vision to see that. Some artists have tunnel vision and focus on only narrow aspects of life. It limits their art. But the members of Insane Jane look to the whole of existence to find ideas. It breeds depth and amazing scope in the band's songwriting and guarantees music that will garner fans – other people who can relate to the breadth of ideas present in Insane Jane's work.
The Artist at Work
Insane Jane is working hard to put together a series of shows to help spread the word and build the fan base. It's just a matter of getting the stages on which to play because once you've heard Insane Jane, there's no going back. Of course, touring requires songs and Insane Jane is never too far time-wise from the last writing session or, for that matter, the next. The band is currently working with A&R Select, the hottest indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.
“Insane Jane! Insane Jane! Insane Jane! Expect to hear those words screamed in unison by a mob of ravenous-for-music human beings in the near future. The enthusiasm is building; this momentum is unstoppable.” - A&R Select
