Biography:
Janna has always been a closed book when it comes to her personal life. She probably won't tell you that her real name is Sandra Marie Dubinski-Wells, a native of Kentucky and daughter of a pastor, grew up in a strictly conservative family and spent most of her life living a southern belle lie whilst singing to Jesus on Sundays.

She was pretty much secluded in her hometown and her mother always planning her life for her eversince. Although she felt quite unhappy at the life she was living that time, still, Sandra did her best to be admired. She somewhat liked the attention and validation it gave her. Despite that her happiness was sort of lacking, she wanted something more to her life than being a small town girl and dreamt of the possibilities if she were given that opportunity.

Despite giving appearances, Sandra was still far from a well behaved gal. Through the nights she snuck in teen magazines she stole from the nearest station or gift shop, and through her cousins visiting their ranch every summer from the the city, Sandra was introduced to a variety of popular culture at that time, from movies, music, fashion etc, and has particularly took a liking in a certain music style.

By the end of highschool, she married early to a young man named Joseph Wells, as per her mother's demands but after a fight on the eve of her wedding Sandra have had enough of pretending. She wanted more from life and she sure as hell won't rot in a boxed in town for the rest of her life. From that spontaneous moment she gathered up the courage, decided to steal the family's station wagon and drove off in the dead of night, the very same evening she got married.

It was kind of surprising how easy to lose ones identity, after changing her name to Janine Morris and skipping from one town to the other. This was the time where she met one Jerry Eliot at a bar she was working for, who took interest in in her charisma and talents after a gig. It just so happens that he knew a guy who would be interested in including a woman with her vocal range in their rising band.

Janna accepted the offer and she started earning some extra pocket money from the gigs they do. Though she had security in the starting career she chose, Janine wanted more. When the band started to become a notable name locally, she decided to separate herself which to some members, thought was a bad move. The band was merely a jump start for Jenna and she wanted to develop a unique style for herself alone, and decided to go solo, and moved to LA.

But what she hadn't realized that LA has a different, more competitive scene than she anticipated. For now though she's trying to navigate the waters. Good thing is, she's notable enough to grab a producer's attention. So finding a gig wasn't as difficult as it should yet, Janna, always ambitious as ever, never miss for the brightest stars in the sky.

Biography:

Louis was born in Detroit, to a dad who had been a jazz drummer before abandoning that career for a job at an auto plant, and a mom that led the church choir. There was always a nice record collection around the house. Louis' youth happened during a turbulent time for Detroit, and after the riots of the 60s and the further decline of the 70s, Louis' parents decided that it was time to move to a quieter suburb. The move meant saying goodbye to most of his friends and entering an unfamiliar school, leading to him becoming more withdrawn and moodier. His music tastes changed too, moving away from the greats of classic jazz to listen to more modern and experimental works, like the works of Sun Ra or Miles Davis’ electric period. Before he had been in the school but he quit that too in this period, feeling out of place. He picked up a hobby of working with electronics when his Mom brought home a broken Hammond Organ that the church had retired, convincing his parents to keep it after being fascinated by the warped sounds it made. After a lot of hard work and study, he managed to get it working, and from then on he became an avid keyboard player.

In high school he was known as a weird kid, always tinkering but he didn’t bother anyone so he made few foes. He took extra math classes, spent time in the library, and generally acted more like a nerd than one of the musicians. Most of his interaction with other musical types came from earned money on the side fixing people’s gear when it broke; he was not interested in joining bands. With the extra money he got a cheap Korg synthesizer and continued his experimentation. He didn't even particularly like sharing his music, content just to play his solos by himself in the family garage. His studies paid off with good grades, and he went on to attend University of Michigan after graduation, becoming the first member of his family to go to college.

Louis took a while to decide on a major. Initially he wanted to go into music, but his parent’s advice and his own uncertainty led him rethink that decision. Every time he went home the news around Detroit had more talk of factory closures and machines replacing men on the assembly-line. His father was perpetually on the verge of getting laid off, so Louis picked a major that would go with this trend, not against, choosing to be an electrical engineer. He worked hard and made a small group of friends across a few different departments, the type of people that liked to read books by Marshall McLuhan and Alvin Toffler. Louis also took note of the growing electronic music scene, buying more gear and a tape recorder to try and make his own tracks with. They were primitive, but had a few interesting ideas he'd come back to later.

When Louis graduated he got involved with the computer industry. There was plenty of work in that field, and it was all interesting enough to Louis. As he saw computers evolve he began to dream of using them for live music, no just as an instrument but as part of the composition and improvisation process. The tech was never close enough to make it practical anywhere outside of a few experimental labs, and so Louis kept his ideas to himself and focused on more practical concerns. He left Michigan to move to Los Angeles for a job with a small but rapidly growing company. Most people would've used the extra money to move into a nicer place, but James sticks around Oceanside and uses the money to add to his synthesizer collection, cramming into his small pad. When he can he plays live shows at clubs that'll let him, but given his style of music is pretty experimental, he isn't getting many gigs. A few people come to him for technical help, but he is very far from the mainstream music industry right now.
