Soul City features Janice B.

Born in Washington, D.C. and growing up in Forest Heights, Maryland, Janice B. has been singing and writing since she was a small child. “Words have always intrigued me. Their meaning, how they work and flow together, how you can sometimes say a whole lot with just a few of them,” she explains. She began her music career in 2002 when she wrote a song called “Never Be The Same” to music created by a co-worker, which they went on to record. Together the two formed the band Intuition. Intuition had a fairly successful five year run, playing venues around the Maryland/D.C. area like The Columbia Arts Festival and The Hard Rock Café at the Inner Harbor. Once Intuition disbanded, Janice continued as a solo performer. A chance meeting with “Mo-Rece” on MySpace and an opportunity to work with him as a sound engineer on a project led them to discover their unusually strong creative chemistry. “Stinkiface embraces diversity in music and this was one of the main things that convinced me that working with Mo was the right path to take,” Janice says. Soon Janice found herself in a recording studio collaborating with her new producer, creating “eclectic soul” with songs like “Storm”, “A Part of You”, and “Watch Me Fly”. Janice B. sums it up this way -- “There's always gonna be a little of my soul in everything I create. ‘Music with soul’ is my mantra.”
