Raised in a musical family in Aurora, CO. Janeen moved out to LA at 18 to attend Musicians Institute in Hollywood.
When Janeen released her self-produced debut album, ‘Time is Never Wasted’ in November of 2005, it immediately received glowing reviews and was picked as ‘Best Album of The Year’ by Morley Seaver at antimusic.com.
Known for captivating audiences with her powerful, soulful voice and raw emotion…the stage is where Janeen truly shines. Music Connection said it best; “Leah’s pure, sweet, melodic vocals soared over a perfect blend of instruments as she performed each song, leaving the audience wanting more.” And when compared to iconic female influences throughout pop culture history like Janis Joplin, Music Connection went on to say; “Leah could carry the torch for a new generation of female singers.”
In August of 2009, Janeen became an international artist when she flew to Bombay, India to record a collaborated album with Bollywood musician, Tushar Parte at Tushar’s request. The album named ‘Some Rhyme, Some Reason’ released February 13, 2013 through CD Baby and iTunes.
In 2010, Janeen signed with indie label f. Boo! Music in Los Angeles with producer Keven Brennan. In July 2011, the first single with the label, ‘Life Eternal’ was released. An EP with f. Boo! 'Right In Front Of Me' released January 1, 2013 and is available through CD Baby and iTunes.
Janeen has 3 records under her belt and is storming the San Francisco bay area live music scene with her dynamic performances.
“The singer-songwriter’s most recent EP "Right In Front Of Me" is simply excellent and shows off several different musical styles of the pop/rock genre. It is haunting, melodic rock at its finest.”

"Janeen has the ability to draw you closer to the speakers so you really concentrate on her words. In addition, she can also exude a sultry vocal coating that enables you to get lost in the moment......her songs leave an impression that she carefully gave her all to each track."

"Janeen Leah could carry the torch for a new generation of female singers."
Bob Leggett - Music Connection
"Oh my, this young lady has quite possibly one of the most beautiful voices I’ve heard in a while... For doing it on her own, no label support, no promotions people, this woman is well on her way!"
Geoff Dellinger - Entertainment World
"An artist who can hold her own and Janeen Leah does it like no other."

"I accidentally discovered Janeen Leah on the Internet and it was a very fortuitous meeting for me because I found probably the best record released this year."

"To accent her vocal attributes are her talents as a song writer. There is nothing garden variety about her lyrics; they make you pause and they make you think."
Peggy Eldridge-Love - BellaOnline.com
"There has been some really good major label stuff. A lot of it, however, is indie stuff, and the best I've heard so far is Janeen Leah... Given some national media and a vehicle for her great talent, she should make waves for sure."
