Bio

Jane O’Neill cultivated her love for songwriting in the landscapes of the Midwest, enveloped in the records that reverberated throughout her family home: John Denver, Norah Jones, and Bonnie Raitt to name a few.

Growing up, Sundays were dedicated to music instruction for the whole family, a tradition that transformed ordinary dinners during the week into soulful music sessions. Being one of twelve children in her home, Jane had a small symphony to practice with, which nowadays has translated seamlessly to her ability as frontwoman of her band.

Though she’s now found herself building her music career on the East Coast, you’ll hear in her voice and lyrics, a subtle longing for home, reflecting her sentimental spirit and the musical influences she grew up with.

As Jane has grown up – as a human and as an artist - you can hear it in her writing. She moves through life openly and honestly, translating experience into song. Described as "quietly confident Americana”, Jane writes songs that tell deeply human stories – universal tales of love, self-discovery, and resilience, all nestled within a voice that upon first listen, you’d swear belongs on the record shelf next to the greats.

In 2023, Jane unveiled her debut EP, "A Little More Free,” a small collection of songs she’s worked on for most of her life. Jane released her sophomore EP, self-titled, in March of 2024. She currently is in the studio recording a collection of new songs to be released sometime in 2026.
