Current mood:Blessed to be alive and well.
Category: Life
Since the release and selling 10,000 copies of "The Chase", I have been courted by a few major distribution companies and music industry executives. I am in the process of selecting a company to partner with my label, The Wondaland Arts Society.:)

I have decided that it is time my music be introduced to the Universe. It is time for the W.A.S to take over the lands. It is time that our friends and family be able to come see me perform in your city and physically walk into Walmart and pick up all four suites. It is time for videos and movies to be made. It is time to move forward and take "Metropolis" to greater heights. It's just time...

Kate: Does this mean the music will change? No more kicking mic stands at your shows? Will your hair and clothes disappear too?

No.

I will and can reassure you that I will not be compromising my image or figuring out how I can fit into the mainstream of things. It will not be that kind of situation at all. Any decisions made about me and my image will be because I decided it was cool. In fact, I am not even having discussions with companies who don't appreciate my artistic direction physically and musically. We are not wasting our time talking to such people.

I wanted to thank you personally for your love, prayers, word of mouth, magazine write ups, blog posts, college radio spins, and helping us reach 10,000 copies sold! All these things helped get me to this point. It is only right to keep you in the loop about these sorts of things. Thanks for being the EARLY adopters and trendsetters. I will have to share my music with the rest of the world now and to know that my genuine supporters are behind me 100%, makes me feel so blessed.

I love you all and I will keep you posted. Feel free to ask questions or make statements.:)

Sincerely,

Jane.

Not to say "I saw this coming", but you are a superstar and when a situation is working against you, then it's time to move on. Not saying you were in a bad situation, but YOU NEED TO BE HEARD/SEEN BY EVERYONE. I got the cd and looking forward to seeing more of your work. It's almost like a breath of fresh air......creativity and true artistry at it's finest.

Keep doing ya thing!!!


Much success for you throughout 2o07...on into 2oo8.

I hope you know, and appreciate just how GOOD your album is! When 'Chase' came in the mail, I was listening to Labelle's 'Night birds' album. Since the first listen, 'Chase', with its 3 whole songs, intro, and one interlude has been totally DOMINATING MY BRAIN AND CD PLAYER (haven't upgraded to Ipod yet). I'm hearing 'Sincerely Jane' in my head as I write this! I can't wait for my best friend and my nephew to get their copies (whcih are currently in the mail) so I can have some one to rant and rave with!

Well...As long as you're kicking mic stands!
Lol @ Kate:
You guys and that role playing stuff... Hilarious! I really could imagine some girl with light brown curly hair named Kate. (with the old Mariah Carey Hair style from 1993)
WOOO Janelle you are funny!

please get that done! the word needs balance. currently it is too one-sided and that side is mostly sexy trash. you will provide a much needed break from the mainstream trash the public swims through daily.

How awesome! I'm sure you knew that this time would come but it must be sweet that it is now here. You are a freakin riot dude. I love rocking out to your music. In my suit and heels "Violet Stars Happy Hunting" pumps through my iPod each day on the subway and I could kick someone like how you do those mic stands, getting juiced up by the music... but I don't. I take a deep breath (much in the way that you do when readjusting your hair during a performance) and let the vibes bring forth an award-winning smile!

Janelle, Janelle, Janelle (in cheer and chant mode)... for she's a jolly good fellow that nobody can deny!

P.S. you and my friends at City of Ink look ultra in that Broke & Boujee ad. Check my boy Miya out on pg. 16 of Urban Ink Magazine, written by me!!

lv,

ERIKA

I want to say Janelle honey I got everyone on your music. I just had my best friend listen to your music and he loves you! He can't stop listeining and I can't either "Metropolis" by far is one of the most innovative album concepts I've heard in a while. I'm not trying to ass kiss at all!..You are definetly something new to the scene. It's not normal for black girls to be creative and innovative as you. I'm just as creative and imaginative as you and you make me feel comfortable to know that there is someone out there like me...lol..not to say creepy but I'm pretty animated too..lol.. Most women are treated like sex objects and what for? Music is art not just sex..lol..with all that said I'm happy for your progress 10, 000 dowloads isn't bad for someone who's on the underground scene congratualtions Jane!!!

I think your musical and physical presence is unparalleled. You have staying power that will quickly register into the masses of boring and stale "music". This whole art form of being singers, songwriters, trendsetters...Will never be the same. You have an extraordinary gift that people MUST see. Looking at you makes me believe in my self more and more. Keep inspiring others to be different. Thanks so much!

I am soooooo proud of you! It is so good to see that you are taking control of your career and you are going to do it your way or no way! You are a great role-model and you make REAL music. I love the creativity and can't wait to see you on the shelves and at the top of the charts. Creative artist last, and I know you will.

I am so proud. The energy backing you is truly devine and God has placed and ordained you to not only be a messenger; but to inspire the world and all of it's artists. I love you so much and I am so excited for you. Stay beautiful, real, humble, gifted, and never let anything stiffle your creative energy or pull you off of your course.

You're the best, Janelle. As long as you don't start wearing blond lacefront wigs, hideous shiny metallic dresses, and shake your behind every one of your videos, you'll always be cool in my book. =)

Hey friend,

It's Lariadi here...I attended your very first album release at Criminal Records and drew an on-the-spot portrait sketch of u as u sang your hit and some AWESOME standards (More, please!). I was quite upset that I couldn't make it to your huge album release PaRtAy that Saturday night! It's been great watching You bloom, like a rare exotic flower. I was so excited when I saw another side of you in Sophisticate's Black Hair Magazine. "She's really on her way," I thought as I read the exerpt with the photo. And I smiled everytime I read about you in Creative Loafing. I pray u don't become a common tulip & maintain your uniqueness at all costs as u go Major. My prayers are for u, and I hope to see you again soon while you're still local! Janelle, I meant what I wrote on your portrait! God bless!

MUCH support,

Lariadi

To be honest, I consider you the BESTEST kept secret in the music industry, so it'll be hard for me to see you get all big and popular, yet I would love to see you get big so you show the commercialized artist what music and performing is REALLY supposed to be about. I wish you all the Blessings and success in the world! :)

I'm so proud of you. Been busy, but have been watching your progress. Those that know you already know you won't be compromising your image etc. I believe if you changed you would be doing a disservice to music in general. You are a true artist and any true artist let's their artistry direct them. Trust me I know that best. Never change...you will always loose in the end. We are winners! And have been that since our days at Black Family Channel. Some things are just meant to be, and I'm down with the movement.
