SEPTEMBER 15: Janine Annice
Janine Annice is an escapist; art is her refuge, a means to process the world. Home for Janine is a place where nobody is afraid to be unique. Difference is celebrated and conformity – rejected. Her exposure to London’s bubbling artistic melting pot – where music, fashion and art intersect – cultivated the fearlessness required to try new things on the stage. Attending private jam sessions in East London warehouses with London’s finest next-gen musicians until the early morning hours and constantly living and breathing in the new has led to a certain open-mindedness that is rare, and a symbiosis between vocalist and band that is unusual, and at times, magical.
The next steps in her career have brought Janine overseas to Southeast Asia. After being offered a slot at the World Youth Jazz Festival in Kuala Lumpur and Publika Jazz Festival, Janine remained in Malaysia to perform most notably at No Black Tie and Le Noir, where she met the Juny Brothers (USA). They went on to make the connection with Maveriq Records, where she was offered the opportunity to record her first project. After spending time hosting two fortnightly jam sessions at The Ankh and The Pembroke Arms while writing and producing her project in London, she returned once more to Malaysia, armed with fresh material and ready to begin.
During that time, with Malaysia as her base, she performed again at the World Youth Jazz festival, BajaFash Jazz festival in Batam Indonesia, and the Victoria Bar (Singapore). Also taking short residencies at the Imaginarium and Savini, and returning once a month at Le Noir and No Black Tie, she has also played at venues such as The Imaginarium, Rils and The Bee.
