By Ann Wyatt, Music Gossip News

For fans of Jana Mashonee there is no other voice that does what her voice does to the soul. The gorgeous, exotic, spiritually seductive Mashonee makes the listener her willing captive. She has graced the covers of countless magazines and it wasn't until I came across her in an ArtChix Magazine issue did I hear her for the first time. My God, I couldn't believe I had been missing out on the "Mashonee Miracle"...her voice. The Voice of a Goddess. She was named ArtChix Magazine's 2011 Artist of the Year and being a fan of all Music, I just had to know what all the rave was about. I became an instant fan.
So, who is she?

Jana Mashonee is a singer, songwriter and actress. She is Lumbee and Tuscarora, originally from Robeson County, North Carolina, currently residing near New York City, in Greenwich, CT. She is currently releasing her Music through Miss Molly Records.

Jana was discovered by producer/songwriter, Rodney Shelton, when Jana was singing funk in her "weekend band" Peace 'N' Love near Charlotte, NC. Shelton recorded a demo of "What I Am To You" and presented it to Curb Records' Mike Curb who immediately signed Jana to his label.
