Janani K. Jha is a 23-year-old Indian-American singer-songwriter and reality tv star based in Los Angeles, America. She is the youngest ever international pun championship award winner, at the age of seventeen. Before that, she received multiple national literature awards from Scholastic. Following, she attended Harvard, majoring in Law and having a minor in mythological studies. She became the seventh youngest person to be accepted into Harvard law school, but due to it being 2020 and her passions changing, she postponed her career as a lawyer and began to write music and publish independently. After releasing her debut song, Achilles Heel, which was focused around comparing her toxic relationship to an Achilles heel, and using many other Greco-Roman mythological stories and characters as similes and metaphors, she released more music, much of it based around niche topics, leading to the Recording Academy deeming her style as “al-nerd-ative.” Her next singles were: Golden Age, Thanatos, and Ms. Protagonist. After this, she entered an era of her branding for her debut EP, Poetic License. The singles for the seven-track EP focused around contemporary coming of age were: Machine Learning, Library Card, and Sunday Crossword. The non-singles were: Rome (Outro), Two Roads, Three Spectors, and Prophecies. From this album, my favourite song is Machine Learning, which has an accompanying lyric video that adds the right amount of context and confusion to the lyrics of the song, featuring: ‘I know you want to be yourself, like everyone else. But that’s not where you excel’ and ‘Just memorize the manual, you’re hopeless on your own; if you make it look natural, then nobody will know.’ The EP also features other fan-favourites, such as Prophecies—about honouring the dreams of your immigrant parent(s)—and Two Roads—about making a difficult decision.
After the release of Poetic License, she slowly introduced more songs for her debut album, which she had been teasing would be a Greek and Roman mythology-based concept album. She released the songs: The Maze, Hellbent, Gladiators, and Royal We. This time, she had changed her name. She originally went under the pen name J. Maya; J being her initials, and Maya being Sanskrit for mystery. In her immigrant household, she was always set up to become a lawyer and didn’t want her family or friends to know of her creative outlet of writing, whether it be her poetry or her songs. However, she had gotten over this turmoil in her four years of writing music and changed to Janani K. Jha, her birth name, before the release of Gladiators. All of these, alongside Thanatos and Achilles Heel, were put into her debut double concept album that was released on December 6th, 2024. The album was set to be titled The Rest of the Laurels. This was for a few reasons: to begin, laurels had always been a big part of her Greek-mythology-inspired branding, and it fit to have them be a part of her biggest project to date. Alongside this, she was attempting to shine a light on the not-so pretty parts of reality: not the shiny, more prominent laurels, but the rest of the laurels, too. Finally, it was a pun. Being an international pun championship award winner, she couldn’t help herself but slide in a pun—that being, to rest on one’s laurels, or to be satisfied with life. When it was released, seven tracks were added to the previously released singles on the album: The Siege, Weird Hills, Polyxena, The Judgement (I Think Too Much), Cut the Cord, Nike, Library of Alexandria, and The Maze. Each of these songs, alongside the singles, are based off of a story or character from the Greco-Roman mythological canon. To put alongside it, when the songs are played and taken into account in chronological order, they form a story that is detailed thoroughly in the companion e-novella, Katathon. Katathon was also written by Janani K. Jha, and has 13 chapters, each one corresponding to a track off of the album. It tells the story of a young singer named Asha, who is selected as the California delegate for a nationally-ordained competition where fifty citizens of the USA are sent through a passageway in the Grand Canyon that leads to the nine layers of Hell described in Dante’s Inferno. Whatever singular person escapes and evades all nine layers first without death reaching them gets a cash prize. Asha, however, isn’t there for the money, she’s there for information and for her ex-boyfriend, Myo, who went down into the underworld in last year’s competition, following a romantic moment between the two of them. Asha is seeking both him and the closure she needs to continue her life.
In 2024, Janani K. Jha was announced to be the voice of Aphrodite in EPIC: The Musical, the Wisdom Saga, specifically in the song God Games, which features the Greek gods forcing the main character—Odysseus—to perform for them. Aphrodite, out of all the gods, has the most lines. Jha was able to secure this role after connecting with the producers of the musical, mainly Jorge Rivera-Herman’s, through the subspace of pop music for theatre-inspired mythological epic retellings.
Now, Janani K. Jha is set to release the deluxe edition of The Rest of the Laurels later this year, and is currently writing a musical. Her musical is set to be a broadway-produced project that is about the life of poet and author Mary Shelley. She is also working on an undisclosed Sci-Fi full-length independent novel and a physical selling version of Katathon.
Her Mary Shelley musical is currently going by the name Mother & Mary due to the focus it has on Shelley’s mother, feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft, and her death that proceeded Shelley’s birth. The musical is set to have thirteen songs produced, with dialogue between them. Currently, only snippets of five of the songs are released, the titles being (in chronological order): Graves, The Exception, The Ghosts Are Out Tonight, Make My Name. Janani K. Jha is set to only play Mary Shelley, the titular character, in the concept album, not the stage production.
On various platforms, Janani K. Jha has been able to use her initial presence to entertain her music career and tease upcoming and unreleased music. She’s so cool :D
