Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Janie Chu readily absorbed music at a young age. Beginning piano lessons at the age of 6, Janie was trained on diverse piano repertoire. Even though she had a voracious appetite for piano music, she knew early on that her penchant for commercial pop music always outweighed any desire to pursue playing classical piano seriously. She began singing, writing and playing small melodies as a child, going onto full songs and winning numerous music awards on into her teenage years. Her latest album, The Human Condition, infuses an indie rock sound with edgy guitars, progressive synth & piano production with the same lyrical substance that have become her trademark.
Starting at the age of two, Jennifer Zuiff started humming and dancing around the apartment to the tunes of classical music while her concert pianist mother would practice. Long story short, always being drawn to the sounds that made her lose herself in moment, this childhood love affair turned into a life long passion and study of the human voice through the classical ways which morphed into songwriting starting circa 2008 leading to today. The now singer / songwriter, new age pop star, and aspiring composer has enough to chew on and it's time for her to take on the world!
