Janette King is a Caribbean-Canadian alternative RnB artist whose debut LP What We Lost landed her acclaim in, among others, Complex & Hypebeast as well as performance opportunities which include Montreal Jazz Fest, Ottawa Blues Fest, Noise Pop and support slots for Cupcakke, Sudan Archives, & Jamila Woods.
Most recently, King wrote and performed on two tracks off Gayance’s album Mascarade which came out in March 2023 and landed on the esteemed Polaris Music Prize shortlist. King also released 2-track dance EP How Sad in June 2023 in celebration of Pride Month. Janette’s much-anticipated sophomore album that was released in October 2024 on Birthday Cake Records (Leith Ross, Begonia).
"Janette King has made a very special debut album that ought to place King right near the top of the list of this
country's up and coming R&B artists. What We Lost is fully realized and has a confidence that is well beyond King's years. The album's title track finds King flirting with techno,
and it's something that would fit comfortably on a playlist beside Ela Minus, while "You Don't Love Me" wouldn't seem out of place sandwiched between any Alicia Keys tracks. To do
all of this while sounding completely herself is a reflection of King's strength as a songwriter." - exclaim
