Meet sweet and sultry singer-songwriter JANELLE “JK” KROLL. The lithe songbird’s deep house cut with renowned producer and DJ Dennis Ferrer, “Mind Ur Step” (Defected Records), has garnered much attention ever since its release in July, with top spots on Beatport and Tracksource, radio play on BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra, along with over 200k video views.

Her original work reflects an insatiable desire for real human connection in the millennial age. Relishing in her Chicago roots, JK’s sound draws from R&B and EDM influences with the contribution of multi-platinum award winning collaborators Vince Lawrence (house music innovator, Slang Music Group) & B Howard (production credits: Lupe Fiasco, Ne-Yo, Missy Elliot; artist: UMG Japan). Back home, she developed her craft in the studio and on stage at staple venues like The House Of Blues, The Vic, Uncommon Ground, Double Door, and Schubas, along with parties like After Dark in the Modern Wing at the Art Institute of Chicago, receiving a nod from the American television network The CW for her artistry and panache.

Newly relocated to NYC, her future singles can be previewed live at Williamsburg’s Brooklyn Bowl, the Lower East Side’s Pianos, Ella Lounge, BMI’s acoustic showcase, and more.
