R&B artist Janine first broke into the music industry when her song "Hold Me" flew to the top of the charts after being featured on VH1's "Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta." Since then, the singer/songwriter originally hailing from New Zealand was signed to Atlantic Records, headlined her first U.S. tour and released an album. She stopped by the AXS Patio Sessions for an intimate, acoustic performance and talked to us about her journey.
"So I went and performed in New York, and the reaction was crazy," Janine told AXS. " Then my Visa ran out, and I was like 'how am I going to get back?' My song was actually on 'Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta, and it went to the top of the charts. Then I had every major label reach out to me that night."
"Seductive and soulful, this one may have you dialing your ex. Don't say we didn't warn you." - Vibe Magazine

Janine is a fiercely talented songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. She is also a self-sufficient artist who has created her own artwork and directed music videos. But, her greatest weapon: an ethereal and devastatingly beautiful voice that commands every single verse, hook and refrain. She's magnetic - bringing you into her world.
Born in New Zealand, Janine dedicated herself to music almost as soon as she could walk, recording herself singing her favorite tunes on a double cassette player at the age of five. At the age of fourteen, she began performing her original songs with a guitar at open mics, mostly held at bars she wasn't technically allowed into. As a result, her art remains as honest as it is hypnotic.
