Janne Schra

Janne Schra crafts luminous indie pop where sorrow and sunlight coexist; her clear, melancholic voice floating above warm, organic arrangements. On her album Work Out, she dives deeper into songs and stories about carrying pain, finding strength, and moving gently through the dark. Work Out, slated for release in spring 2026, was co-written with guitarist Laurens Radstake, Rory Ronde and Jez Ashurst and recorded in Paris with producer Albin de la Simone (Pomme) and drummer Raphaël Chassin (Nouvelle Vague). Schra first gained international recognition as the frontwoman of Room Eleven, earning multiple gold and platinum records and performing at major festivals—including Montreal Jazz—as well as in cities like Johannesburg and Tokyo. Since launching her solo career in 2010, Schra has released several acclaimed albums and, in 2023, won the Edison Jazz Award with her band DeVogels. Her work is defined by a wide range of collaborations—with artists such as M. Ward and Benny Sings, and with several orchestras.
