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 painfully shy and learned that I feel most earnest in music. More than anything, I want honesty between my listeners and I; as it should respect 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 and voice, yet her voice is somehow husky and soulful. It’s not a story of growing up listening to Stevie Wonder and the Beatles. "Assimilating to western culture as a teenager meant I didn’t have pop music historical context, so I absorbed music randomly and openly: Allison Krauss, Bjork, Michael Jackson, Brazilian jazz circus music, were all on the same playing field for me."
