    paper Muse and Musician EP

    Muse and Musician was Just Janie’s Debut EP. The EP was recorded and produced with Rick Turnock and Abby Smith in the Blue Mountains, NSW and garnered significant success in 2024, with the release of the third and final single from my debut EP ‘Muse and Musician’. The title track reached over half a million streams in the few months since the release on July 5th.

    ‘Muse and Musician’ music video was filmed in Central Otago by Seung-Woo Hong.

    ‘Muse and Musician is at its core, an appreciation of what it means to be a musician. I wanted to explore what creating art and sharing that art does to one’s psyche. Filming with Suggie, we were able to capture this completely.’

    Leather Jacket Records (Ōtautahi) will be releasing ‘Muse and Musician’ on a 7” inch record (vinyl) in the New Year 2025.
