I've recently gotten into doing live shows and I love it. Its so hot up there, you are totally exposed, and you get into this moment with the people out there and time just slows down, and then like that its over too fast. I can't wait to do more.

Well its killing the artists ability to make money. It isn't fair that we should work so hard to make great music and never make enough money to cover the costs. However with internet radio it is giving little heard artists a chance to get exposure to fans all over the world. And instead of being a 24hr commercial like most radio, internet radio has a specific audience so you can target the people who like the kind of music you make. That is the future.

I just want to make the best music for my fans, and if that is what it will take, I gotta do it!!

After the release of just one single she is already being hailed as one of the hottest indie artists on the internet. In March 2010 J’anelle released her debut single “Hammer At It,” an electronic infused challenge to the sexes, daring a woman to play the tease and demanding for every man who wants a chance to give it all or go home. The song received the Platinum Auddy award through the site uPlaya.com, their highest honor, indicating that “Hammer At It” was a sure-fire hit. Within days of its release the song received airplay in Turkey and Japan, and hit the top of several internet charts, and remains on the top 10 of many sites to this day. Her song is in rotation on internet stations across the globe, all without a record deal or contract.
In addition to the overwhelming support of “Hammer At It,” on the web, J’anelle has been chosen as a featured artist on several websites, including Stereofame.com, AMAhits.com and many more. In July, she was chosen by Tali Smith, LL Cool J’s daughter, as “Lady of the Week,” on boomdizzle.com, an indie music site owned and founded by LL Cool J himself. J’anelle’s club knocking single has opened doors for her to perform at music festivals all over Texas and California, including the 60th annual Juneteenth Music Festival in San Francisco, as well as being chosen as a spotlight artist for many local music events.
Outside of her work in music, J’anelle is an avid philanthropist, dedicating her time to projects like the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, as well as work with local organizations including the Lend A Hand Foundation which offers school supplies to poor families. J’anelle has a long history of volunteering, and gives herself and her music regularly to help those in need. J’anelle Avery is truly a rainbow to the world, bringing light and positivity through everything she does, all while maintaining style and an incredible work ethic.
J’anelle Avery plans to continue pursuing her career in the entertainment industry, writing new songs and releasing more great music to the public. With her next release entitled “Bad Money,” J’anelle has stepped outside her boundary box and captured something truly exciting. The song features Janelle’s unique voice over a hypnotizing club beat singing a gritty hook that chants, “I want Bad Money” in a way only a pop diva knows how. J’anelle hopes to reach more fans and perform for bigger audiences, and intends to take her music straight to the top, and at the rate she is going, there is no doubt she is well on her way.
J’anelle is currently the featured artist of the month on 247 Radio Network and is awaiting the release of “Bad Money,” due mid October. 247 Radio, a La’s Vegas based radio station, will be debuting her song exclusively as well as conducting a live interview with J’anelle on the air. J’anelle is known to be an incredible interviewee, wowing audiences with her intelligence and humor, as well as her incredible personality. With her unique style and ever-flowing positivity and charisma, J’anelle Avery is the face of a new generation. She does it all and she does it her way. Not just a pretty face, but an entertainer, a star, and soon to be a legend. Love her or hate her, you will respect her. And you will never forget her.

It started with the Spice Girls. I spent a huge amount of my childhood learning their songs and dance moves. Then I moved onto Destiny's Child and Beyonce, and that was the day I decided music was the life I had to have. Other great artists like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Prince, so many have influenced my musical growth, and artists like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Britney Spears inspire my modern sound.

Don't have one right now, I need to travel more.

I use whatever I can get my hands on :)
