Jan was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1952 on a cold day in February. She grew up on Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and the Beatles. Jan considers Richie Havens as her biggest music influence. In 1960, her family moved to Staten Island, New York. At 8, she started piano lessons. At 11, her big brother, Pat, gave her his Harmony semi-electric guitar for a Christmas present. She taught herself from the latest Beatles music book. The first song she learned was I Wanna Hold Your Hand. In 1965, she and her best friend put together the first all female rock band on Staten Island called The Starliters. The rest is history.She is an original songwriter/guitarist/performer and producer who has been playing New York City clubs since 1980. In 1987, Jan was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Major Bummer!Have you performed in front of an audience?I've played many New York City clubs,including: Bitter End, CBGBs, Pyramid, Continental, Coney Island High, Street Level, Spiral, Rock n' Roll Cafe, New Music Cafe, Sun Mountain and a slew of ?others. She was also featured as one of the "new artists" on Reaction Records' (New York City) 1996 Double CD Compilation. I still get out to the clubs.

Hi...Big Teezy from Staten Island, I am making a radio station on Soundclick for "Staten Island" artists only called "Staten Island Radio" The station will be heavily promoted and supported by the artists and fans of artists of the station. The goal is to have the #1 radio staion on Soundclick and expose your music to a wider listening fan base. This can work and has worked to shoot your song way up the charts. If your song is on the "front page" of your genre, more fans come to your site and listen and comment on your music. The only commitment you would have is to play the station everyday and to tell your fans to do it also, in no time your song your promoting will be in the top ten on Soundclick in your genre. If you are interested in promoting your band with very little effort than this is for you. I managed the #1 Alternative Radio station at Mp3.com "Toilet's Underground" for 3 years (before it went belly up!). The station was a huge success for all involved, and a CD thru my re
I like what I'm hearing!!! No doubt!!! Keep it up!!!
Attention SoundClick Users-
If you come to my site and listen to my emotional ballad "Never Leave Me Alone", women will find you 75% more attractive. Studies have been conducted! It's a fact! It's science! Also listening to my fight song "Rage" will make you 25% more attractive, so if you listen to BOTH songs then chances are you're going to get laid tonight. I love science!
