New Album Due to Release January 2009 - August 30, 2008

I had a wonderful 2 1/2 weeks in Bombay, India!! I finished up my work on the upcoming album with Tushar Parte who I collaborated with. 10 songs in all...6 of them Tushar and I wrote together. It is now in the last stages of being finished up and it will be due out beginning of next year!! I can't wait for everyone to hear it!!! I'm really proud of it and Tushar is such a talented composer and producer!

Support Me on SellaBand.com - October 20, 2006

Buzz is being generated about a new website called SellaBand. Band's and artist's can now have their fans support their careers in a very direct way. Fans can invest in the artist or band that they believe will make it. They now have the power to chose who they want to hear make an album! Gone will be the days of the major labels deciding if we will like it or not!! Music fans can buy a 'share' or 'part' in the artist. When the artist/band gets up to a certain amount then that amount is put toward studio time for the artist to make an album. Go to my page on the site and learn how to become a 'believer'. Go to http://www.sellaband.com/janeenleah/

I appreciate the support so much!

Radio Play on Radio Fedra 106.8 Mhz in Serbia - February 2, 2006

My songs are now being aired on Radio Fedra 106.8 Mhz in Serbia! Interesting background on the station:
Radio Fedra (est. 1998) is the first radio sation in Serbia that is in the property of an NGO (Fedra Foundation). Milosevic’s regime closed (1999-2000) our radio for political reasons because we were fighting for democracy. After his fall, we reopened the radio station and since then our mission is to help the democratization of our country. The radio station is organized by approximately 30 volunteers that realize the program in 7 languages that are used in this area. The service zone include 3 million potential listeners.

Radio Fedra in its special show called ”Promophone”
present musicians from all over the world who make music of good quality, but who are not well known in Serbia.

Pretty cool, huh?
