“I was asked about my influences when writing this album and honestly I never listen to a certain band or album when I am writing music. I never sit down and think I should write a song that sounds like this or that, or with lyrics about ’this or that’. Songwriting for me is much more than that. It is a basic need, just like breathing and I really can not function at all as a human being without expressing myself through my songwriting.“
“You know I never wanted to, or try to sound like anybody else, and honestly I can’t – all I can do is be who I really am, in my life and in my music and lyrics. However the band that has made the biggest impact on my life, influenced me the most over all these years is The Rolling Stones, and especially their ’70’s era. So obviously there have to be some inspirations from them in my sound.”
“Heart Of Rock N’ Roll” is recorded without clicktracks or any studio trickery, I really wanted to capture the true essence of my voice and guitar playing, my vision, my heart and soul, without making any compromises and this album truly does that. This is who I am and these songs invite you inside my mind and my life.”
JANINA JADE has studied at Musicians Institute in London and she has performed numerous gigs over the years in various groups, including performing infront of 20.000 people at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark.
