About Janet Planet
Described as a “sultry vocalist with a vast repertoire of jazz, blues, and standards…with some Bob Dylan thrown in for good measure” by New York Magazine, the spirited Janet Planet has been self-produced and managed for the majority of her 35-year career. Spanning the globe with tours across the U.S., Canada, Japan, Russia, South Africa, and Europe, she leaves listeners assured that there is a soul in this “Planet.”
Active in all aspects of the business, Janet co-owns Steel Moon Recording Studio and Stellar Records with husband, Tom Washatka. Janet is a jazz vocal instructor with the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton, WI.
She is a six-time Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) award winner, and in 2014, she became the second woman in 32 years to be inducted in to the WAMI Hall of Fame. In 2017, Janet was acknowledged by the Grammy Foundation for her recording Just Like a Woman-The Music of Bob Dylan, Vol. 2.
