The daughter of a Nigerian mother and a Black American father, Janeliasoul discovered her passion for music while growing up in Nigeria. Immersed in traditional Yoruba folk songs, she soon found herself drawn to other genres like Soul and Reggae — sounds that would later shape her signature style.

​

Now based in Baltimore, Maryland, Janeliasoul fronts her powerhouse 7-piece band, blending Afrobeats, Reggae and Soul into one irresistible groove. With heartfelt lyrics and soulful depth, she writes and sings about life, love, politics and the human experience, captivating audiences with her melodic storytelling and rich cultural fusion.

​

After her hit video “Love-Hate” garnered over 1 million views on YouTube, Janeliasoul released her debut EP, Self-Affirmation Project. She followed it up with several singles, and her latest release, “Dear Mr. Colonizer", will be available on Spotify and all major streaming platforms on January 1st, 2026.​
