For an artist introducing herself to a growing fanbase through deeply emotional (and frankly, sad) tracks like “Hold Me” and “Dark Mind,” Janine & The Mixtape sure has a lot to smile about nowadays.
Hailing from New Zealand, the singer, songwriter, producer and owner of Little Mixtape Records is making serious noise in the U.S. with her music. Her debut single “Hold Me” immediately resonated with audiences when featured in an episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and will not only be featured on the show’s soundtrack (out now through Def Jam Records) but will have a powerful remix in coming weeks.
DJ Steel and I caught up with Janine for the first episode of my “International Affair” radio show, kicking off our “Change The Game” worldwide music segment.
