With an incredibly well-rounded and extensive resume of performing under her belt, one might say Jane Carmichael’s decision to only recently record her long-overdue debut album, One Sided, was by all means carefully chosen. Almost a decade spans between the various songs of the album, yet Jane’s much earned musical maturity allows for a decidedly high-level of artistic consistency throughout the many pop/rock/folk tracks. Only months after its release, One Sided was chosen as No.5 in the London Free Press’ Top Albums of 2009
and earned Carmichael a nomination for the 2009 Polaris Prize. “I knew this debut was good and after Frank Ridsdale raved about the album, I listened to it some more and said hey that is Polaris good.” – James Reaney, London Free Press
Jane learned the dedication, discipline, and musicianship required to be a serious musician through singing in the world renowned Toronto Children’s Chorus where she performed with artists such as Christopher Plummer, Liona Boyd, Oscar Peterson, and The Toronto Symphony Orchestra at such venues as The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, St. Peter’s Basilica, Carnegie Hall, and Roy Thomson Hall. After attending a school for the arts in high school, Jane continued her musical pursuits and received Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education degrees from The University of Western Ontario.
Before Jane’s career turned solo, she front-lined the pop-rock band Jaydn. The band’s successful endeavours included several TV appearances, shows at many of Canada’s sought-after venues, and an opening performance for Canadian artist, Sarah Slean.
Currently, Jane Carmichael resides in London, Ontario where she is working on several musical projects, including recording her second album, and writing and recording the music to the independent Canadian film, “GIANTS.”
