Singer-songwriter Janne Schra began her career with acclaimed Dutch band Room Eleven, which recorded two albums: the first, Six White Russians and a Pink Pussycat (2006), went platinum, and the second, Mmm... Gumbo? (2008), for which the band traveled to New York to record, went gold. After touring Japan, Canada, Europe and South Africa, and winning two Dutch music awards, the band concluded their work together with the release of a live concert DVD in 2009.
Never one to follow the beaten path, Schra began a new musical journey, first recording the eclectic collection India Lima Oscar Victor Echo You in Stockholm in 2011, under the name Schradinova (the pseudonym she uses as a painter). This was followed by a very productive period of collaborations with artists like M. Ward, Dayna Kurtz, Kyteman, De Staat, Kraak & Smaak, Sister Bliss, Benjamin Herman and others, before she returned to her own name with the eponymous release of Janne Schra in 2013. She recorded her highly anticipated upcoming collection, PONZO (release 2015) at home with Torre Florim of De Staat.
