About Janice

For many the passion of music is always close to the surface of life. Music can make you soar, give you a quiet contemplative moment or bring a group of friends and family together to dance the night away.

For Janice Bateman it encapsulates a true passion in life. To sing and sing proud. With a music career spanning across three successful decades, her ongoing enthusiasm for a great tune is something that is never far from the surface.

There is no doubting, Janice Bateman's more recent album Reason To Believe is a heartfelt project aimed at the EASY LISTENING MARKET.
