Just Janie / Becca Caffyn

Just Janie is a folk musician born and raised in the heart of Central Otago, and currently residing in Ōtautahi, Christchurch where she is pursuing music and art full time.

In the winter of 2023, Janie travelled to the Blue Mountains, NSW to record with producers Rick Turnock and Abby Smith (Smith and Jones). The trio worked on an EP surrounded by bird song in their studio backing onto the Australian Bush. The summer months saw Janie embark on her first nationwide tour promoting her debut single ‘Love Letter to Myself’ from her up and coming EP. Her second track ‘Nostalgia’ came out on March 29 and the third single ‘Muse and Musician’ is set to be released July 5th, 2024.

Janie’s lyrical landscapes offer an intimately raw window into her experiences of the world around her, love and loss, the disillusion of rose tinted memories, and what it means to write and perform her music. Drawing inspiration from the folk scene of the late sixties and early seventies, Janie’s music can be described as captivating and tender.
