Native American soloist Jana Mashonee tells us about what inspires her powerful performances, and what her records mean, in the HIP Spotlight interview below.
Her album American Indian Story is a “homage” to her heritage, she says. In the songwriting, she describes the life and adventures of a young girl who traveled, with her tribe, to the New World for the first time many thousands of years ago.
“It’s a parallel of my life,” Jana tells us.
In essence, it’s both a concept album and a personal journey–something near and dear to her heart.
