  JANA CRENSHAW

B I O

“To say Jana is a natural is an understatement, vigorous at points and softer than dew on a peach the next;
her songs lift off and mesmerize the room before you know it.” -South by Southwest
​J A N A  C R E N S H A W  is a singer-songwriter and composer of film and theater scores, sad piano songs and 3rd Grade Musicals.  She has performed on Broadway,  toured throughout the U. S. and Canada, had a #1 video on LOGO (MTV), and in 2019 she was awarded a RACC (Regional Arts and Culture Council) project grant for ‘More to the Story’, a 3rd grade musical telling of Portland’s History through a Social Justice lens.

Jana moved to Portland, Oregon in 2008, to compose music and soundscapes for shows at Portland theaters and has composed scores for: 
Portland Center Stage: Kodachrome, Constellations, Oregon Trail, Vanya, Sonia and Masha and Spike, futura, Small Fire, Chinglish, Other Desert Cities.

CURRENTLY - I am working on scoring a local version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and expanding my one-woman-show, PIANANATOMY.
