Jayne-Anne Power

Genre: R'n'B, Soul

JAYNE-ANNE POWER sets out to define the Nu-Soul, RnB scene in Australia with a five piece band of Guitar, Bass, Drums and Keys accompanying her vocal artistry. A mix of influences underpin the music – acoustic soul, R&B, pop, gospel and jazz – but it’s her diva vocal delivery and the ever-present rhythmic drive in her music that is winning Jayne-Anne critical acclaim.

Graduating from The Elder Conservatorium, with a ‘Best Jazz Vocalist’ award and a national music scholarship, Jayne-Anne was winner of the 2003 Music Oz Award in the R&B category.

Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu and Mary J. Blige.

Debut independent album SUBSTANCE is exploding online with over 34,000 track downloads as of April 2007.

It hasn’t taken long for Jayne-Anne to spark interest from around the world.  Following live interviews and airplay on American radio, Los Angeles based women’s glossy, FOAM magazine included a feature article on Jayne-Anne in the May 2007 edition. 

On the other side of the globe, Jayne-Anne hit number 22 on the Radio Laser music charts in France sparking interest from a French audience.
