Beginning her journey with mesmerising performances on some of theatre’s most prestigious stages, including lead roles in “The Lion King” and “Six”, Janiq is now shifting her focus towards pop stardom. Drawing from her vibrant Caribbean heritage and inspiration from powerhouse icons like Rihanna and Beyoncé, she has crafted a distinctive sound that seamlessly blends the energetic rhythms of soca and dancehall with the smooth, soulful elements of R&B. Her latest track, ““”Dior”““, is a bold, vibrant, and empowering anthem that playfully satirises the concept of “tragic love.”

“Dior” opens with a captivating instrumental that swiftly evolves into an infectious pop anthem, brimming with intricate, expansive pop sensibilities underscored by Janiq’s versatile and dynamic vocal prowess. On this track, she effortlessly displays her talent for delivering powerful, emotive vocals, charismatic delivery, and witty, tongue-in-cheek wordplay. As she delves into relatable themes of love and self-worth, Janiq’s songwriting shines with its nuanced realism. Her mantra resonates as she vocalises, “”Either stick with someone who makes your day and matches your slay, or just throw the whole relationship away. Romeo was a waste man. Tragic love is overrated.”“

Reflecting on a past relationship and the creative inspiration behind the track, Janiq shares, “With my ex, I had a crazy romantic type of fairytale love, like Romeo and Juliet. I was whisked up in a whirlwind of emotions that make you do dumb things. Long story short, we broke up; he was toxic and tried to convert me to a lifestyle where material riches weren’t a thing… blocked and deleted. Shakespeare called it a tragedy for a reason. I wrote this song thinking, I love ‘love’, but I’m a proud material girl, sorry not sorry. Remove ‘struggle love’ from the itinerary, please and thank you.”
