Sometimes, an artist comes along whose music combines undeniable honesty and sophistication,introspection and accessibility, vulnerability and strength. A Girl Named Jaen blends these qualities together seamlessly on her debut opus DUSK, an impressive recording that couples modern electronic soundscapes with acoustic instrumentation, and compelling lyrics with infectious hooks.

Although a girl named Jaen's sound can be described as juxtaposing Madonna's melodic sensibilities with Alanis Morissette's raw emotion, at times echoing Shirly Manson's sensual coolness and an underground Sneaker Pimp's feel, her signature sound definitly stands alone,remarkably fresh and interesting. Says the seasoned vocalist/songwriter, "I wanted to make an album on my own terms, to have fun musically while exploring lyrical themes that were important or interesting to me. And to embrace some issues that most people have trouble even acknowleging."

A Girl Named Jaen's songs have been featured in critically acclaimed independent films,Popular Television shows, and numurous sites on the Internet.
