In addition, she performs and speaks at schools across the country where her unique blend of music, dance and motivational speaking helps reach out to the Native American youth. She is also involved in two lines of jewelry - Jana's Indian Spirit Bracelets and Jana's Urban Indian Jewelry.

She has had two previous singles on Radikal Records, Stairway To Heaven and Found A Love, which both received much club support and attention. Stairway To Heaven made it up to # 7 on the Billboard Dance Singles Sales Chart
