Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-27T07:56:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US, and for those of you outside the US, have fun laughing at the over-stuffed Americans and their silly (but fun) holiday.

Christmas is coming...

2008-11-24T10:47:00.001-08:00

I'm working on a (FREE) Christmas single that I'd like to release sometime in early (hopefully) or mid December, so be on the look for it! I haven't 100% decided on a title yet ... but it will probably have the words "This Year" in the title so be on the lookout for that coming soon!

Peace out,

Jana

New Music Video

2008-10-25T12:16:00.000-07:00

I'm currently in the process of producing a new song, "White Paint." The song's about being in love with someone who's married and wondering what could have been. Once it's completed I will post it for you to listen to and download!

Next weekend Joshua Ingle and I will be making a video for it for submission to film festivals. Let me know if you have any super creative ideas for the video. That would be incredibly awesome.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer. I'm currently spending six weeks in Paris. More to come when I come back.

Sweet CD Deal.

I just started selling my music on AmieStreet.com, and to kick
things off they are giving you $5 to download my music.

All you have to do is click on the link below to get $5 to download
my music or songs from tens of thousands of other great independent
artists.

My album, A History of Sleepwalking, is currently available for free. Act fast though, because the price will increase the more people by it.

Just click the link below and you'll be all set!

New CD Prices.

2008-03-16T05:17:00.000-07:00

I've changed the prices for CDs from CD Baby and SnoCap on my Store page. Physical and digital CDs are now $7.99, and individual tracks from SnoCap are $0.75. (By the way, if you want to buy mp3s of the whole album, I get a higher percentage if you buy the album from CD Baby, so please buy it from there. Thanks!)

So.

2007-11-27T12:01:00.000-08:00

So my CDs are done.

The past several years have been building up to this moment, and now that I'm here, it feels . . . normal. I suppose I thought that once I had a physical product that wasn't burned on my computer and written on with Sharpie that something would click and I'd suddenly be a superstar who could order M&M's with the brown ones removed and organic tequila backstage.

I suppose introversion and timidity have caused me to do things backwards. Usually you hear about the young teenage girl who performed constantly until she got "discovered" and then produced an album that sold millions and she became super famous and lived happily ever after. I was the teenage girl who sat in my bedroom writing songs for myself, performing occasionally, but never feeling ready to expose myself. I did one concert with a full band, and it was awesome. I was on a high for days. But something in me pushed that joy out of my mind and settled back into the quiet routine of writing and recording.

There's a fear in all of us, a fear of the very things we long for. If you never try, you never fail, right? That's how I've been feeling anyway.

Thankfully, the timidity is (mostly) gone. I can't wait for exams -- I'll have a week and a half of free time to write, practice, and promote my music. Who needs studying? Psshh.

The longest month.

2007-10-13T19:51:00.000-07:00

So, I shipped my CD to DiscMakers on October 3 and it's scheduled to be shipped back to me on October 25. This is going to be the longest month ever.
