Shauna is “perhaps something of an unusual combination in the music business – a grief support worker and educator who found music as a method for creative release, but turned it into an upstart and promising career” (Nanaimo Daily News, August 2015). And the passion she has for her work translates into her songs in themes about the strength of the human heart and resilience of the human spirit – about reaching into the rough and beautiful places that are a catalyst for transformation and love.

As a self-taught guitar player, her unconventional approach and folk-soprano voice has garnered her appreciative audiences and quick recognition ever since. Her first single in 2010, Simple Beautiful, turned heads as far as the U.S. market. Following that, in 2012 she released the album Divinity, recorded within the folk duo Vital Hands, which also received attention in the Vancouver film industry.

Most recently, Shauna released a self-recorded EP in November 2014, and her song Redwood was nominated “Song of the Year” at the 2015 Vancouver Island Music Awards. Her full length studio album This Regal Heart was released June 2016, recorded at yourSOUNDSCAPEstudio in Victoria and mastered at Gotham City Studios, Vancouver (Sarah McLaughlin, Heart, Delirium).



"The irrepressible Shauna Janz took the stage. She blew me out of the water with her confidence and musical expertise...her beautiful voice with the amazing range. She regaled the audience with her humour, charm and talent. Shauna has an incredible vocal range, hitting the high notes most singers only dream of." Sheila Pratt, Founder of Victoria Music Friends.
