Jana Mashonee is a Native American from the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina who is a singer, songwriter and actress who is currently exploding in the mainstream music market and quickly rising to international fame. Her rising career is quite an interesting success story. A few moons ago, Jana was playing in a weekend band in the Charlotte, NC area when producer/songwriter Rodney Shelton discovered her singing funk. Shelton recorded a demo of "What I Am To You" in 1997 and submitted it to Curb Records who signed her to the label and released this single which quickly hit the Top Forty on the Radio And Records rhythmic chart.
Jana quickly followed that up with several other singles that hit the ink listings on several charts. In October 1999 Billboard Magazine listed "Ooh, Baby, Baby" Pop Single of the Week! In 2001 Jana's song "More Than Life" shot up to number 10 on Billboard's Artists to Watch chart. In 2002 Jana recorded "Stairway to Heaven" which peaked at #7 on Billboard's Hot Dance Singles Sales chart. As her singles kept hitting the charts, Jana kept pushing herself as her singing career moved along quickly. Her rising career moved her from the weekend gigs around North Carolina to huge Pow Wows and major Native America owned casinos but this was just the start of something that was going to get much bigger than that.
In 2005 Jana released her first full CD, Flash of a Firefly through Radikal Records. Since this is Jana's Debut Album, it should become a collector's item. Flash Of A Firefly is a brilliant collection of soothing Native American sounds with some great pop music all with messages in them that have personal meaning to just about anyone. In 2006, Flash of a Firefly became a Native American Music Award (NAMMY) winner. In 2005 Jana released a Christmas CD titled, American Indian Christmas through SOAR Records which turned out to be one of the most wonderful Christmas CDs every released by any singer. Jana's CD, American Indian Story was released next which has some great compositions and songs that deal with Jana's Native American heritage. In 2007, American Indian Story was GRAMMY Award nominated. Her talented manager and producer Stephan Galfas won Best Producer for this CD. Her song "Enlightened Time" was turned into a music video which quickly won Best Short Form Music Video. In 2007, the music video Enlightened Time won Best Domestic Music Video at the Queens International Film Festival and in 2009 won Best Music Videoat the 2009 11th Annual Native American Indian Film & Video Awards
As the prominent award after award started racking up, Jana became highly viable in the music and entertainment world. Jana is now a 8 time Native American Music Award Winner (NAMMYS) including Best Female Artist of the Year, Best Single of the Year, 2-time winner for Best Pop Recording of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Producer for "American Indian Christmas" and Best Music Video. In 2001 Jana performed at the National Scout Jamboree before an audience of some 70,000 plus people. And the beat of Jana just keeps moving on and up! She performed at the 2001 Inaugural Ball, and in 2006 performed at the White House for one of First Lady Laura Bush's First Lady Luncheons. Again in 2009, Jana performed at the Presidential Inaugural Ball, where she sang "A Change Is Gonna Come" live for the first time.
In 2009 Jana changed direction, started her own record company with her talented manager/ producer Stephan Galfas called Miss Molly Records. Miss Molly Records is quite different from the run-of-the-mill record companies on American soil today and focuses on Internet marketing and personal contact with Fans. This is quite a new concept in the music industry due to the fact that until Miss Molly Records, record companies had tended to shy away from the Internet but Miss Molly Records, Jana and Stephan Galfas are forging ahead as trend-breaking pioneers in this new market place. The Jana Mashonee Facebook page and here web site are gaining a huge audience and is paying off in sales of her CDs. The first CD to come out of Miss Molly Records is New Moon Born which is more R&B and a new direction for Jana Mashonee and Stephan Galfas.
The Jana Mashonee acting career has followed an upward trend for her just like her singing career has. In 2002 she appeared in a romantic comedy titled Dream Weaver alongside Native American actor Wes Studi. She also made a cameo appearance in the independent film Blue Gap Boy'z. Her music video Enlightened Time has gotten rave reviews across the world and won top awards.
New Moon Born, the first release by Miss Molly Records with the hit song A Change Is Gonna Come, is now taking off like a rocket leaving Kennedy Space Center and contains a very unique blend of Jana style R&B mixed up with Native American soul if you will. Jana performed a rendition of Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come with guitarist Derek Miller at the 2009 the Eleventh Annual Native American Music Awards (N.A.M.A) and won a Nammy Best Compilation, Song/Single of the Year.
A Change Is Gonna Come and her new CD New Moon Born is something different that has sort of taken a lot of people by surprise! There are a few individual critics out there who want Jana to stay in the Native American traditional music area. But when it comes to the music business strictly Native American is a small market compared to the mainstream music industry and I think Jana is destined for much bigger things. As far as A Change Is Gonna Come goes and her new CD, New Moon Born I'd say this about it. It doesn't happen often but every ten or twenty years, the stars are aligned correctly, the right talent comes together at the right time and another song of the decade comes along. It's my opinion that "A Change Is Gonna Come" as recorded on the CD is one of those songs. Although this has an R&B tone to it, it might be 10 years from now that a whole bunch of people look back and say this CD was the point at which a new type of music was invented. Aside from R&B, there is a little bit of Native American, a little bit of Spanish, a little bit of rock, a whole lot of inspiration and a massive amount of talent. Jana, Stephan and the band has changed my whole perspective of where music is headed these days with this CD. It's refreshing to see pure talent with something new instead of rehashes! As Jana moves forward, I'm looking through that looking glass and can see that it's going to be ruff to top what she just did but if I was a betting man, I'd place a bet that she will.

Aside from her super talent and raising stardom, Jana Mashonee is one of a rare bread of people in society today that cares deeply about others. Aside from the fact that this comes through in her music, she cares about her fans, her Native American background and Native and Indigenous children very deeply and is always on the front lines having a totally positive influence. If you have ever had the opportunity to meet her or talk to her on the Internet, you know exactly what I am getting at. She instantly becomes one of those people who you feel like you have known all your life. She started Jana's Kids Foundation which is a non-profit organization which helps Native Youth to achieve their dreams by awarding scholarships in academic, athletic and artistic categories. Jana's Kids Foundation is a non-profit organization which helps Native Youth to achieve their dreams by awarding scholarships in academic, athletic and artistic categories, one of the few scholarship programs in the United States and Canada which award scholarships in all three categories. She also is a public speaker for positive thinking for Native Americans. Many of the Native American reservations today suffer from high unemployment rates and alcoholism. Jana is one of the great modern influences focused on changing a lot of these negatives into positives. It's a tough job but Jana is making headway. In the fewest words to say it, Jana cares and it's coming through loud and clear by her own actions and in her music.
The 34th Annual American Indian Film Festival
November 6-14, 2009 San Francisco, CA: "A Change Is Gonna Come"
Performed by Jana Mashonee feat. Derek Miller, takes home the award for Best
Music Video, Director Stephan Galfas, at the 34th annual American Indian Film
Festival, Saturday November 14 2009, Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, CA.
There is something else about Jana and the team that works with
her that is creating things like a New Moon Born that you will find
rather rare in the modern age we live in with people starting to
obtain what can be described as celebrity status. It's a eight letter
word called humility. Humility is indeed a rare asset to have that
appears to be present in overabundance in the majority of humans
who are Native American. While many who travel as far in an entertainment
career as Jana has tend to loose that special trait, you'll find
that she is holding on to her's. While Jana likely knows exactly
where it is she is going, she also knows exactly where she came
from and you can tell that this special breed of Native American
traits will be with her no matter where it is she goes because it
has been tattooed into her character.
2010 is proving to be a year for Jana Mashonee. She
became the first Native American to have her CDs distributed through
Walmart, the largest CD music retailer in the world. Jana released
a book called American Indian Story The Adventures Of Sha'kona.
This bio appeared as a cover story in ArtChix
Magazine in April. In July, Artchix Magazine announced that
Jana Mashonee has been selected among over 30 entertainers as Artist
Of The Year. NAIStv,
which is an online teleivision broadcasting station of The National
Association Of Investigative Specialists that features progamming
on law enforcement, private investigation and security technology
wanted to pick one entertainer to have their own online television
channel on their network. They picked Jana Mashonee. NAIStv is a
joint effort of Griffith
Colson Intelligence Service, The National Association Of Investigative
Specialists, SpyTek
and Griffith
Media.
So what is it that has everyone looking at Jana these days? One might say it's her unique ability, amazing voice and talent combined with a driving force to market herself to her audience making full use of new technology but it's a whole lot more than that. The music industry these days is a very crowded field with a huge amount of talent but Jana stands out from this crowd basically because she is Jana. She has this unique ability to connect with people and that's really what music is all about. Her music is both intoxicating and addictive when you listen to it. She has a special and distinctive voice that presents her unique style and personality that seems to just throw her heart out to you. She's different and she is unique and she's shooting for the stars. As Jana gets past the moon, it sure looks like she's getting there and getting there very quickly. Her unique blend of R&B with a little Native American and a little funk and little rock combined with the friendly and charismatic personality of Jana herself gives her a highly unique combination that is really connecting with people and Jana is starting to really fly like an eagle.

Jana: American Indian Story CD
Jana is the Native world’s biggest success in the mainstream music market charting several singles and becoming a dance club staple. Don’t let this recording slip by without a listen because her influences (Barbara Streisand, Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox to name a few) are clearly evident in her superb vocal technique, flawless arrangements and stellar production. Never compromising her Lumbee traditions or her core values she has made her way in both worlds dazzling thousands of fans with her immeasurable vocal talent. "The true soul of my music reflects all aspects of my cultures." "Being an 'Urban Indian' is to walk in both worlds but not compromise my cultural identity. I cannot ignore who I am and where I come from. I am proud that I can maintain my traditional customs while living in today's world." Another important part of Jana's life is her own Jana's Kids organization, founded by her to help Native American youth achieve their dreams. It has become one of the most successful programs of its kind in America. A 2006 GRAMMY nominee! NAMMY winner of Pop Artist of the Year 2007

Some Great Photos Of Jana Mashonee And What Is Now Being
Called A Mashonee Eagle Necklace
Hand Carved Hinged Turquoise Jana Mashonee Eagle Sterling Silver Necklace
What a work
of art! This necklace features the impressive image of the eagle made
from hand carved stones of block Turquoise. This necklace design was
a hot seller in the eighties and is coming back big-time due to the fact that this is like the necklace Internationally known Native American Singer Jana Mashonee often wears on stage. This Turquoise has been set in the brilliance
of shimmering Sterling Silver to complete the eagle with an illustrious
high shine. It has a box link chain for flexibility. The eagle itself comes in Four different sizes and spans 2.25 inches, 2.75 inches, 3 5/8th inches or the 4 inch span just like Jana Mashonee is wearing in the various photos.
The total length of this necklace is 24" but you can adjust the chain so you can wear it either as a choker or a longer necklace and the chain adjustment gives you a perfect fit.
Turquoise will vary slightly from piece to piece. Carved Turquoise, Mother of Pearl Beak, Sterling Silver Feet, Sterling Sliver Hinges, 24 Inch Sterling Sliver Chain that is adjustable so you can use it as a choker or longer neckplace. Four Different Wing Span Models. Now in four different colors on smaller Eagles!
Note: These hard carved Eagle Necklaces are Navajo made. However, please be advised that the turquoise will vary on them and that they are in very very limited supply as the carver who makes the big ones can only produce about 18 a month. Order early as these sell out very quickly since Jana usually wears one on stage during what are now sold-out perforamces.
To Native Americans, the eagle embodied not only ferocity but also purity,
for it flew high in the atmosphere, where the air was clearest - and
where, in the belief of many Indians, the Great Spirit resided. Those
who wished to ask something of the Great Spirit sometimes sent their
message by way of the eagle spirit. Some believe birds to be symbols
of the soul, as well as intermediaries to the gods. Seeking their cooperation,
Native Americans have plied bird spirits with offerings and performed
dances to honor and beseech them. Pleas are sent skyward in the smoke
of burning tobacco. Feathers are often considered the most potent part
of the bird and are passed down as cherished symbols of the power bestowed
by those creatures that soar in the lofty realms where many of the gods
dwell. (Note: Color of turquoise and matrix will vary)
