Listening to singer-songwriter Jane Lui’s music is like watching a Michel Gondry film. There's a whimsical, homemade feel that's inventive, magical, & intimate. Handmade music boxes, found objects, percussion pipes, and cardboard boxes, all a part of a handcrafted sound that makes her music enduring and lovable. It began this way though - “You’re poor in college -- don’t have stuff, so you make it up."

"I'm can be pretty shy, and learned that I feel most earnest and outgoing in music. More than anything, I want to be honest in music; it respects intelligence." With a sensitivity towards the interplay of sound, space, & subtlety, Lui's artistry is fierce with utmost musicianship & self-respect.

Little Jane

conducting

Jane is classically trained in piano & voice, yet her voice is husky & soulful. It’s not a story of growing up listening to Stevie Wonder and Beatles. "Assimilating to western culture as a teen meant I lacked any historical context at all, everything was a shock and I absorbed music randomly & openly: Allison Krauss, Bjork, Michael Jackson, Brazilian jazz circus music, all on the same playing field."
