Janani Logendran ("Jay"), from Plymouth, Minnesota, is a solo artist and songwriter. She got her first acoustic guitar on Christmas of 2005 and ever since then she has been composing her own music and lyrics. She finally decided to go somewhere with her music and started recording in the fall of 2007. After two 12 hour sessions at Winterland Studios (New Hope, MN) she had her first recorded EP.
Janani's passion for music hasn’t always been for the guitar but for various instruments as well. Her Sri Lankan roots and her family have taught her a lot about music, especially her mother, Mary Logendran, who got Janani started at a young age. She has played the Trumpet for 7 years, Mellophone for her marching band, and was a stand in French Horn player for her high school band class, of which she was appointed president. Janani's first performance with a band and in front of a microphone was done at her high school’s Garage Band Fest, where she and her fellow classmates played an original song that was written by her. She soon got very comfortable playing in front of crowds at high school pep fests, small charities, and local restaurants.
She attended the University of Minnesota until she knew she had would only be happy with music in her future. Currently, she goes to Mcnally Smith College of Music and plays shows at local venues like Trocaderos and The Dinkytowner, and her biggest show at the Northrop Auditorium. She hopes to get more time in the studio to record the many songs she has written, and eventually establish a career in the music industry.
