BIOGRAPHY
Janet Odani is a singer and songwriter currently based in Coffs Harbour, Australia.
A keen music lover from the very beginning, she wrote her first song as a young girl at the tender age of six. She was also an enthusiastic part of musicals at schools, as well as choirs. Passion stemming from such an early age cannot be curtailed, and so as the years have gone by, she has worked on developing her own unique style of music.
She released her debut album, Transparency, in 2013. This was a rich blend of both inspirational songs and love songs that was well received for its soulfulness. Critics noted how Janet’s music came straight from the heart and with purpose. Filled with spiritual lyrics, Transparency was an introspective album that allowed the sweetness and innocence of Janet’s voice to shine through.
Janet chooses to write inspirational songs because she sings about her faith in God. The song ‘Like Moses’ on her debut album is a clear indicator of this. She also believes that inspirational songwriting opens the door to emotional healing, which is why so many of her songs carry this message.
