Off My Back Off My Back
For the recipe; start with a Bluesy, Jazzy feel, add some Pop appeal, spice it up with a catchy hook, and top it off with some sweet sax parts by Angel Alvarez.
Welcome to the music of Janis Duque, where powerful yet sultry vocals and 'in your face' lyrics meet Rock influenced guitar riffs, producing a unique sound that easily lends itself to the masses.Band/artist history
"Atmospheric...haunting...strangely POWERFUL" are words that have been used to describe this Jersey girl's self-titled debut EP.
Janis describes her music as edgy, mood driven Rock with Pop appeal. She pulls no punches either when addressing the good, the bad and the downright ugly of relationships.
Fans have compared her vocal sound to Blondie, PJ Harvey, No Doubt, Alanis Morissette and Patti Smith. Other musical influences include Sinead O'Connor, Janis Joplin, and Tori Amos.
Her collaboration with Blues guitarist/producer Shaheed Shabazz started in January 2000 after she outgrew a friend's basement four-track studio. The pair worked together for three years.
The results: a five song EP displaying a dynamic range of musical styles and production techniques without ever leaving the Rock world. Musically Janis jumps from raw catchy rock tunes to polished sultry ballads, effortlessly bringing lo-fi and hi-fi tones in and out of the mix.
Janis is currently seeking new collaborators to flesh out some new tunes.Have you performed in front of an audience?not presently
