JANE NICOLA DOUGLAS
Singer - Songwriter
Welcome! I am Jane Nicola, a singer - songwriter and a podcaster from the UK. I am currently living in Shanghai and my creative journey involves travel, getting lost and journalling as a means to sketch out the foundation for my songs. Most of my work has been recorded live in studios around the world as a result I have created 6 albums independently of a record label. Last year, I became the founder, producer and presenter of "Jane Nicola Soundvibe." This is a podcast show that celebrates the creative lives of musicians, artists and writers around the globe. Scroll below if you wish to hear my latest podcast. Some of my earlier CD work was recorded in the UK as I previously lived in Somerset and then later in different parts of London, I spent a lot of time scribbling lyrics, jamming out chords into a tape recorder. Nobody actually taught me to songwrite but I was immersed around a lot of music, so it felt very natural to me to be creating my own songs. In the past 14 years, I have lived in Asia, including the countries of China, Singapore and Hong Kong. This has influenced me to create music in different ways. Most significantly, is that I have found sojourning in a foreign country has been one of the most powerful influences to my work, giving me a fresh kaleidoscope of images and unfamiliarities that are scribed and improvised into the bedrock of my songs. I like to write about the negotiation of self within and outside of relationships, it has always been a fascination of mine.
