Born Igboanuzue Jane Chiemelie, known simply as JNE, is a Nigerian singer-songwriter whose voice blends soul, honesty, and a touch of quiet fire. JNE is from Anambra State but she was born in Lagos, Nigeria in 2001, JNE began singing from an early age and wrote her first song at just 14. By 19, she was sharing covers and original snippets online, drawing in listeners with her raw emotion and effortless charm.
After earning her nursing degree, she fully embraced her calling in 2022, committing to music with depth and intention. Since then, JNE has been refining her sound — a soft yet bold reflection of who she is and who she’s becoming.
Her debut single, “PRETTY”, was born in front of a mirror one Saturday morning, toothbrush in hand. That rare moment of self-recognition — of truly feeling beautiful — sparked the song. “PRETTY” tells the story of navigating life and relationships as a pretty girl, exploring both the blessings and complexities of pretty privilege with elegance and a wink.
JNE’s music is deeply personal — a canvas painted with her life, emotions, and evolving identity. With her unique voice, perspective, and quiet strength, she’s not just an artist — she’s one to watch.
