JANANI is an Alternative Rock band from Orlando, Florida. JANANI blends elements of grunge, indie and hard rock to create an alternative sound that has been described as having, “scorching guitar riffs, thunderous drums and rock solid bass, but highlighted by the powerful soulful vocals...” by Bob Cretin of RarasFarm.com. In mid-2015, they released their hit single, Run (Pick Up the Gun), which put them on the radar for college and internet radio play both nationally and globally. Shortly after it was released, the single won the Akademia Award for Best Alternative Rock song. ExposedVocals.com wrote, “[Run (Pick Up the Gun)'s] killer chorus latches itself in your memory after the first listen. It's a well-crafted song that acts as a wonderful homage to the classic rock sound but also just a good piece of songwriting in itself.” Over the years, JANANI has performed at venues such as Hard Rock Orlando, Hard Rock Tampa, and House of Blues New Orleans. Their music has been heard on radio stations such as CKCU 93.1 FM in Ottawa, Canada, KISS 104.7 FM in Pheonix, Arizona, and Orlando’s own BUD 94.1 FM. It has also been featured in DIRECTTV's documentary, Gone Until December. In 2017, JANANI released two singles, First to Fall and Poison Me. The songs spawned great reception from stations like TD1 Radio in Scotland and KALX 90.7FM in California. More recently, JANANI has debuted their first album titled, Duality.
