Janelle, who lights up the stage as Lady J, is a versatile vocalist with more than 20 years of experience in music performance. A native of Quebec, Canada, for the last decade she has been a vibrant presence in Dubai's live music scene, best-known for her unique take on jazz tunes, pop classics, and the diversity of her special projects: French classics, 90s & 00s pop hits, and country music. An expert in organizing and directing small ensembles for diverse performers and venues, she has delighted audiences in 3000 career performances on world-class stages across Canada, the U.S., Asia and the GCC. In 2012 she released Noise Rises, an album of quirky Motown-inspired tunes, featuring ten original songs she wrote with her partner, Felix Frechette. In 2020 they were a huge hit online with their live streams, started during the Covid-19 lockdown and evolving into a weekly feature, with more than 100 episodes and a dedicated following. Equipped with a home studio, in addition to her own material she continues to record audio demos and write lyrics and melodies for bespoke songwriting projects. --- **Musician, Band Manager and People Leader** • _October 2017 - present_ Weekly residencies in Dubai/Abu Dhabi for: - Jumeirah Group - Atlantis Hotel - Raffles Hotel - Pizza Express - Hard Rock Cafe Special events throughout the GCC: - Expo 2020 Dubai - Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Dubai International Boat Show - Dubai Watch Week - Hotelier ME Awards - CIPD People Management Awards - IFLR Awards - Jazz Garden Corporate events for: - Anantara Hotels - Valentino - Yandex - French Business Council - Canadian Business Council • _October 2006 - September 2017_ Long-term hotel residencies in Asia and the GCC for: - IHG - Marriott - Grand Hyatt - Marina Bay Sands - Ramee Group **Songwriter** Mandolyne - _Tourne la vie_ 2018 **Songwriter & Lyricist** Nelle Thomas - _Noise Rises_ (Strange Cat Records) _June 2011 - October 2012_ **Lead Vocalist (Peaches & Cream)** Intercontinental Hotel Muscat _January - May 2006_…Janelle, who lights up the stage as Lady J, is a versatile vocalist with more than 20 years of experience in music performance.
