Universalia Jane
Universalia Jane is a supernatural thinker and a secret warrior priestess. She sings from a heart full of pain and joy, and an uncompromising belief in limitless possibilities. Her voice is big and small, guttural and clear as water. She speaks of lifetimes of the human condition, of battles and truces, and of escapades that sound with eerie familiarity. Universalia Jane is true to herself and to her music. The universe is the limit,just listen....
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Jane and Rich played together in 'Milla Raspa' from 1996 - 1997. When Milla broke up, they continued to play and write music together. Early in 1999, Jane hired Rich and other local musicians (Justin, Eric, Rob and Rey of 'Shifter' and Mike of 'Nodule') to be her 'orchestra'.
