Jana's Experience

I’ve been a recording and touring singer-songwriter since 2008, and am now producing other artists in the indie folk / Americana / ambient worlds. I’ve built a career as an indie touring artist, wearing all the hats from tour manager, booking agent, social media consultant, to…oh yeah, artist. Turning to production to help artists achieve their artistic goals with a project in the most fun, fulfilling way possible is a north star of mine now. Working to get more women in the production / engineering / etc. roles is a mission.

She Is The Music PresentsWomen Sharing the Spotlight

On behalf of She Is The Music, it is with great pleasure that we recognize the below women for their extraordinary contributions to the music industry at our inaugural Women Sharing The Spotlight cocktail event.

Women Sharing The Spotlight is founded in the ethos that when we make more space for each other, when we bring more women into the room, we create a vibrant spirit and ecosystem of mentorship, growth and opportunity -- together. This is a unique event for industry leaders to not only converge and celebrate -- but to share their platforms, their voices, and their strength with one another and with the next generations of women forging the path ahead.

The list has been selected by our advisory council as one of 50 exceptional women to be celebrated for your 20+ years of remarkable achievement, contribution and impact in music.

Rooted in the conviction that 'We Are Stronger Together', we have asked each honoree to nominate another woman they admire to share the spotlight.

Women Sharing The Spotlight is envisioned as an annual celebration, creating a platform to elevate and empower women who are shaping the future of music.
