Биография

Finding as much solace in lending her pen game to others as she does getting behind the mic herself, singer-songwriter Jane Handcock has been developing her multifaceted talents since the age of three. Growing up in the Bay Area, the Oakland-born vocalist (b. Myariah Summers) gravitated toward singing before she learned to talk, turning a way to combat an early onset speech impediment into an empowering form of self-expression that would define much of her life as a creator. First becoming captivated by the power behind emotive vocals, sophisticated compositions and top-tier execution while attending church with her family as a young girl, Jane quickly discovered her passion for music and the arts wouldn't dwindle in time but rather would grow stronger into her teen years. Later, she went on to attend the reputed Oakland School for the Arts, further solidifying how she was destined to pursue a musical path. Jane began extending her network, going on to capture the attention and mentorship of GRAMMY Award-winning songwriter and producer Raphael Saadiq. After earning her stripes as a songwriter through her work with Marcel, on "2 AM," Jane started working Kelly Rowland, Tyrese, Big K.R.I.T., Keke Palmer, Rick Ross, Tank, Dr. Dre, Ma$e and Warren G,Blackstreet's Teddy Riley, Justice League, Harmony Samuels, James Fauntleroy, 1500 or Nothin, Sir Dylan and Polow tha Don.
