Janeen Leah: News

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!
You can see pictures from my trip to India on the 'photos' page of this site and more photos at my MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/janeenleah

I will be in the studio for 2 weeks straight recording my next album!! I am working hard on writing and collaborating with Tushar Parte (collaborated on 'Wine of Conciousness' together) 4 songs on the album written by me and 6 songs written together with Tushar. I'm so excited! The songs that we have done together so far sound awesome! Tushar is very creative and we work well together.

I couldn't be more thrilled about the addition to our family! Michael is of course thrilled to have another son and a beautiful girl he calls his princess. He says their is a halo around her. :-) Our 5 year old Isaac, is so excited to be a big brother!
I am gearing up to start gigging again in March 2008. Looking forward to seeing all of you faces again in the crowd....I've missed playing shows! :-) See you soon!

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!

I wrote the lyrics and melody to the music by Mr. Black of Mr. Black Experiment. For more information, go to the website.... release of the compilation CD is to be announced.
I am also headed to the studio to begin working with Keven Brennan...he will produce 2 of my songs and write and produce another song for me to record. Keven plays sax in my band and on my album 'Time is Never Wasted' of which he also recorded, mixed and mastered.

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?
