From singing at corn festivals to producing her own album at the age of 18, this former small-town darling of Ross, OH has come a long way. Jana Fisher began her career as a 4-year-old singing duets in church with her mom, and eventually moved on to singing solos, then playing piano, then writing her own material, becoming a star in her hometown, population 2000.

Jana’s career path shifted when her family moved to Bradenton, FL, where she spent her teenage years. There she sang in choir, performing originals at choir concerts, and giving concerts – both as a solo artist and with a band -- at her high school, where she was voted “Most Musical” by her senior class.

While majoring in Digital Arts: Sound at Stetson University, Jana decided to take matters into her own hands by writing, recording, and producing her first album, A History of Sleepwalking. The album consists of twelve original songs that Jana wrote between the ages of 14 and 18, spanning pop, rock, folk, and electronica, all while keeping the common theme of piano. Her influences for the album include Tori Amos, Simon & Garfunkel, Fiona Apple, Bjork, and Alanis Morissette.

After graduating from Stetson in just three years at the age of 20, Jana decided to further pursue her career by relocating to New York City, where she currently lives and continues to write and perform.
