Turn your Memories into Melodies
A song as a gift can be a unique way to honour someone. I write songs for people to celebrate important life events. You tell me the story and I will create an acoustic, sing-along song that is meaningful to you. The song can be a personal gift for someone or a theme song to celebrate with friends, co-workers or family.

Hi! I'm Jan
Singer-Songwriter & Storyteller
I like to write original songs to tell a story. My singer-songwriter service is for the purpose of creating songs that reflect your story. Memories and humorous anecdotes can be put to music and provide an opportunity for everyone to sing along. Let me help you tell a story by creating a melody and lyrics that celebrate your milestones and turn your events into memorable experiences.
The Soloist Advantage
I'm a singer-songwriter and storyteller at heart who has written for various people and organizations in the Ottawa area for many years. I heard and enjoyed many stories over the years. People’s lives are so interesting!!
Personal Touch
Through our connection and the sharing of your story, I will approach our project in a way that is very personal to you. These are not stock songs, but rather creations that will come out of my interpretation of your story.
Privacy
Your story is your own, not to be used or interpreted for other purposes. No aspect of your story or song would ever be used without your permission. This is meant to be a joyous creation and a special gift for a monumental moment.
Passion
I have had wonderful experiences putting family and personal stories into songs. There is no greater satisfaction than sharing the gift of music and experiencing the reaction of people when they hear their stories in a tune.
Capture the Moment
Create a unique gift for family and friends by putting a treasured narrative into song. This song will be specific to your situation. A wedding day can be even more special with a song that tells your story. A birthday celebration could include a humorous song that invites guests to take part in the singing. Telling the story of a couple at their anniversary is particularly poignant. These are examples of moments that call for a creative ditty.
The Creative Process
Peak behind the scene into the creative journey behind each melody, where I transformed your story into a personalized tune, crafted with passion and precision.
