About Jana Rose

Jana Rose began her music journey on the piano with private lessons at age 5. Around age 12 she began teaching herself acoustic guitar and later moved to electric. Her guitar playing style began in folk and expanded to blues and jazz quickly. From a young age she was tapped to play graduation ceremonies, private parties, community events, church worship services, duos, and even on the Istanbul ferry boat in Turkey. Jana's singing abilities complement her playing and are wrought from a deep love of acoustic music and close attention to techniques found in blues, jazz, and folk traditions as well as world music.

Jana has been leading bands with vocals and guitar/piano for 9 years. Her strengths lie in her improvisational vocals and solid understanding of rhythm and tone. She frequently attends blues, jazz, and singer-songwriter jams in the Atlanta area to develop her connection to music, and she finds it nearly impossible to say "no" to karaoke engagements.

Jana was raised in Georgia and is originally from the Hunan province of China. She currently resides in Atlanta and spends her spare time attending local social dances, creating visual art, designing graphics, studying foreign languages, writing poetry, and reading non-fiction.
