Description: At first glance, Janubia, who communicates in an "untethered" language may seem like a niche phenomenon; however, with the advent of Enya's Loxian hitting the airwaves and the ever-growing popularity of Sigur Ros, this supposition is groundless.
Biography: Born in Omaha and raised in Colorado, Janubia has been performing since the age of three. Choirs, jazz groups, musicals, rock bands, she did them all. But on her own she would sing in her mysterious, untethered language. Until a few years ago she had never uttered it publicly. "It was something that I did when I was alone--when I was expressing my heart. But a few years ago I did two completely different gigs in the same week, one was a street fair with a tribe of hand drummers, and the other a mellow rock band during a prayer service. After seeing how the language affected people, I knew I was supposed to open my hands and set it free." However "setting it free" would have to wait until she purged herself of the standard, rock music pursuit. This she did with amazing fervor until, at the point of contract negotiations with a major label, she realized the bubble had popped. "The joy had gone out of it. I had forgotten why I was doing it in the first place." She quit music. Thanks to the patience of producer, Alex de Rafols, and drummer, Andrew Mills, as well as a close circle of friends, Janubia began to occasionally "play" in the studio. She began to remember her heart. She remembered the "inner urging" that had suggested she share her language. So, armed with only one rule - To Have FUN - Janubia stepped back in front of the mic and recorded her debut release, Mother Tongue. Presently living in Los Angeles, California, Janubia and her "friends in fun" are currently recording an E.P and CD #2. And you can regularly find Janubia's mousetracks online when she takes time to chat with her blossoming group of "spirit siblings" - many are artists themselves - via her Flow Forum

JANUBIA: MOTHER TONGUE
HER LANGUAGE IS A MYSTERY. HER APPEAL IS NOT
Los Angeles, CA
March 6, 2006

InCreation recording artist, Janubia, has been ‘on the scene’ - since she was three. A child expressing her “inner world” - Singing in her own language. At first glance, an artist such as Janubia who communicates in an "untethered" language may seem like a niche phenomenon; however, with the advent of Enya's Loxian hitting the airwaves and the ever-growing popularity of Sigur Ros, this supposition is groundless. Janubia has international appeal with her borderless, debut CD, Mother Tongue.

Enya, who has sold nearly as many units as the infamous Beatles is stepping out with her scripted 'Loxian'. Janubia has been singing in her "prayer" language ever since she was a child...using it to communicate what is in her heart. It is just a matter of time...

She claims it comes from “Source”. What “Source” would that be? God? Gaia? Guru? Gnomes? “Source is the essence of creation - a living, breathing energy that connects us all. We ALL have access to this ‘Juice’. This language is my expression. What’s yours?”, she adds with a teasing smile.

In March, MovieTunes, in association with IndieCore featured Setah, the first cut on Mother Tongue.. In the next month, you will be able to find Janubia in Starbucks/HEAR Music.

What does it sound like? Definitely romantic, but Janubia’s brand of romance is not always soft and furry. She’s not afraid to dive into the emotional crevices and report back. Mother Tongue. is a collection of songs that sounds innately familiar despite the fact that her language, “Janubian”, isn’t taught in the finer learning institutions. She delivers “heart”. She delivers a platform for you to create and explore your own landscape. She doesn’t spell it out for you - You’re FREE! In a world of endless soundbytes and the every-growing task lists and chores, wouldn’t it be refreshing to sit back and allow yourself to be transported to another world? Your inner world?

Colin Gregory from YogaWorks says: Listening to Janubia's Mother Tongue. is like taking a cross-cultural journey through an enchanted, foreign land. The more I listened, the more I felt I began to understand this strange and beautiful language. Music truly transcends all languages and borders.”

‘The Smash’, radio and TV personality, wrote: “I heard the first four songs as I drove. Fantastic [Bepehon] is a monster!

Janubia is currently working on CD#2 in Los Angeles, CA. More information and updates are available on her website: www.Janubia.com
