   About Janita
Janita is a veteran of the music business, having started her career at the early age of 14. An overnight success story in her native Finland, she became a celebrity and toured the country extensively until deciding to move to New York at age 17. To this day, NY is still her home--the city continues to inspire and fascinate her. Janita has realized her childhood dreams and built herself an international career as an artist. She continues to travel around US, Japan and Europe performing her unique, soulful music. For the last two years, Janita has been working on a new album, which will be released in the first quarter of 2009. Life-changing transitions in her personal life have prompted her to delve even deeper into her emotions than before. This is to be a deeply touching album, where Janita lays bare her fragility, sensitivity, sadness, resentment and anger, hate and love. As a common thread throughout her albums, Janita's music, even in its darker moments, is marked with a hopefulness and a belief in the future. This is her strength, which lies beneath her melancholy. FOR INFO ON CONCERTS AND UPCOMING DEVELOPMENTS PLEASE VISIT WWW.JANITA.COM AND SIGNUP. NEW MUSIC WILL BE ADDED SOON; STAY TUNED! Past reviews of Janita's music: BILLBOARD: "A sensual, musical mosaic.Immediately snag a copy." MARIE CLAIRE: "Janita keeps listeners hooked...HEAR IT!" VILLAGE VOICE: "This belle can belt and pen. Janita teems with vocal wattage and knows it." ..
