Artist Detailed Info: Jane Bee

Getting attached to Reggae and Dancehall in the late 1990s, Jane Bee soon made her
first experience with acting as an MC, though singing/chatting has not been her main
focus by that time. As a record collector and selector, she initially concentrated on
running her own record shop called Saba Records in Leipzig (Saxony, East Germany)
from 2004 until 2009 and was further engaged in promoting a radio show for about
three years. Later, Jane Bee also worked as a local promoter and agent for renowned
artists like Lord Sassafrass, Black Scorpio, Echo Minott, Peter Metro and Squiddly
Ranking.

Despite focusing on these various businesses, she has always sticked to her personal
aim of performing as a Selectress and MC. Today, she is a member of Outernational
Sounds and is linked to the Jahtari Crew and the PlugDub. Moreover, Jane Bee is
part of the so-called "Horseman Camp" around the veteran DJ SassaFrass. Her turf is
early Roots music and Dancehall, Rub-a-Dub and Digital Reggae.

Since 2012, Jane Bee has been more seriously following her ambition as an MC and
song writer. In August 2012, she first got the chance to deejay at one of the mighty
PlugDub sessions in Leipzig when Doc Dressla from Jahtari passed the mic to her
during their set. Jane Bee since had guest appearances at PlugDub and Jahtari shows.
She had record sessions together with Disrupt, even in cooperation with Naram for
his debut album "March Of The Gremlins". This Double-LP will feature Jane Bee's
tune “Conquer Me“, her first official record release. She is further about to finish a
12-track Demotape that will be released on cassette as limited edition.

Jane Bee is now working, together with Doc Dressla, as an artist agent for
Komodore, a booking agency that is connected to Jahtari and artists which have
releases on the label as well as to other international artists and sounds. She is
further promoting Lord Sassafras, Asher Senator, Peter King, Jah Screechy,
Supertone and Blacker Dread.

This year Jane Bee will start working at Supertone Records in Brixton, UK.
