Biography

2009-03-11T10:25:00.000-07:00

"Astonishingly Angelic Voice. Deliciously Devilish Personality - this woman is fun!" -- Harith Iskander, Stand-Up Comedian, Director, Actor

"There's a voice worth noting behind the fishnets." -- TV Smith, blogger/writer/director on Pygmalion

“Beautiful tonal color.”
-- Michelle Quah, Singer, Actress & Voice Trainer

"I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing." Says it all for Janet. Music and singing found Janet before she even started school. With an onstage presence that emanates passion and a vocal prowess which displays a gutsy versatility in any genre, Janet is the ideal vocalist for any occasion.

Janet has sung in operas, musicals, concerts, championships, private launches, dinners, weddings, fundraising dinners, anniversaries; cosy jazz lounges, concert halls, grand ballrooms, Philharmonic hall, sophisticated theatres and anywhere people find her voice fills warmly.

Juggling between private performances and main stage theatre productions, Janet is a curious musician who is constantly exploring the world of music and where its magic may take her. Her main repertoire include jazz standards, Western classical, operettas and oldies. She sings in English, Mandarin, Italian, French, German and Spanish.

Fresh out of two back-to-back theatre performances, The Edge, a new musical written by Nick Choo and The Broadway Parodies Lagi Lah!, Janet is now back in the busy event circuit. Do check out her performance calendar for updates on her public appearances.

"Janet, you were absolutely fantastic in our wedding!! We received many glowing compliments from our friends and relatives on your singing. You nailed all the songs to perfection, and my favorite was of course "At Last" which you sang it wonderfully. I almost teared up.

Even our friends enjoyed those few Chinese oldies, much to our surprise because I thought only those from the older generation will appreciate them. During the dinner, my mum whispered to me, "your grandma is really enjoying the songs!" We truly and thoroughly enjoyed the wedding, and we believe it was your performance, and your camaraderie with James, who by the way did such an amazing job as an emcee as well, that made our wedding so fun, really memorable and beautiful! Thank you so much!"

We definitely look forward to seeing you at our friends' functions in the near future! Keep up your sunny spirit to sing for happiness!"

"I know a performer in The Magic Flute. The name of this spellbinding creature is Janet Lee, and if you've ever been privileged to be in her presence, you would very likely have heard her chirp: 'I don't sing because I'm happy; am happy because I sing.' The thought came to me as I watched do things with her lips (mouth acrobatics?) that few people would ever be able to master even if they trained without interruption in a monastery for decades. 'Pa-pa-pa-pa-papageno' she went, like a steam train at full speed, like Diana King kenachilli padi, confessing her love for some sort of bird-man. I was so aroused."

"I particularly liked the lively Papageno / Papagena duet -- flirtatious and cheerful `love song’ with a “pa-pa-pa” refrain that was fun to listen to and to watch. It also featured Janet, whose flirtatious and vivacious touch to her character connected to the audience -- this song earned the loudest applause!"

"I was trying to go for an 'Old Shanghai' theme for my reception. The typical wedding banquet setup provided by the hotel was standard-issue; so I roped in my friend, a set designer, to create a simple, stylish backdrop for the stage. The next best thing I did was to hire Janet. She came through for us in an unbelievably short period with jazzy numbers that reflected the mood we were going for. We had heard from friends who had attended a charity performance early this year about her camaraderie with the audience and her no-airs approach (apart from The Voice, of course). Believe it or not, I had decided I wanted Janet even though neither my husband nor I had heard a peep out of her! A bonus - a very thoughtful one - was how she got all excited about the theme. Being a flea market junkie, Janet had amassed some vintage cheongsams and wore a beautiful timeless one with a peony in her hair. The whole look was perfect as she sang the song for our first dance."

"On our wedding night, a lot of things didn't really go well as we wished for ...but as Janet started to sing, her graceful and soothing voice calmed us down and made us smile as if to tell us to let go of things that were bothering us, and to cherish the moment of being married to each other. And we did. Our wedding might not be perfect, but we were glad to have found a perfect wedding singer for the perfect moments. It was just simply magical. Thank you Janet."
