ONEIDA NATION HOMELANDS, N.Y. - Jana, a three-time Native American Music
Awards recipient, performed at the Congressional Club's First Lady's
Luncheon on April 27 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.
She has also performed at the 2001 presidential inaugural ball and
during opening ceremonies for a crowd of more than 70,000 people at the
2001 Boy Scouts National Jamboree.
When she isn't performing for D.C.'s elite and others, Jana's touring
schedule takes her throughout the United States and Europe.
The Lumbee singer is busy on the musical scene and has been recognized
for various awards.
She has been nominated by this year's NAMMY committee for Artist of the
Year and Record of the Year. The debut album ''Flash of a Firefly''
earned Jana this year's nominations. Her first single, ''What I Am to
You,'' entered the Top 40 on the Radio & Records chart. Her follow up
song, ''Ooh, Baby Baby,'' premiered on other charts.
Her ''American Indian Christmas'' album also is up for the Best Producer
award and was recorded under the Oneida Indian Nation's Standing Stone
Records label.
Previously christened Female Artist of the Year by the NAMMYs, Jana was
also named the association's Best Pop Performer in 2001 for her dance
single ''More Than Life,'' which was remixed by MTV's DJ Skribble and
collaborator Anthony Acid.
The following year, her remake of Led Zeppelin's ''Stairway to Heaven''
climbed to No. 6 on the Billboard charts and was named Song of the Year
at the 2002 NAMMY Awards.
The 2006 NAMMYs will be held June 8 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and
Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
