Described by OrcaSound as a “Renaissance Woman”

Janel Rae has written and self-produced 3 albums, directed and starred in over 15 of her own music videos, one of which won Best Female Director at Prague’s Music Video Awards, and produced a feature film, Years Fall Later, which played film festivals around the world.
