BIO:
My name is Janae Genna (yes, the girl with two first names!). I am from western New York where there are more cows than people. Music and acting have been a big part of my life since I was a kid and I even ended up doing modeling jobs. Singing, songwriting, and playing guitar/piano is my main passion.

Interview Series
1. If you could live out your WILDEST dream with no fear of failure, what would you be doing?
My dream would be to hang out in a recording studio creating art! Of course, doing shows here and there would be fun too. Also, I'd want to work as an actress for my brother's up and coming business Avenue Studios. My dream house would have a connected gym on one side and a connected recording studio on the other side! Lol!
2. What is the most memorable, funniest, or craziest thing that has happened to you on your entertainment journey?
I have met some cool people while acting on movie sets. To get a certain shot, Charlie Tahan had to drive like 5 of us actors in a huge bus around a parking lot. We were all clutching onto our seats, but he did a great job! Strangely enough, the most fun I have had on film shoots is when my character is killed haha! A lot of filming is "hurry up and wait". So, I was background for a Netflix film and we were so bored waiting for hours in holding that we spent that time making our own film. It is so cringey, but randomly funny!
3. Congratulations! You just hit the lottery for 100 million dollars! What do you spend it on?
100 million dollars hmmmm.. Being totally lame and honest, I would invest some of it in my IRA lol! I'd also retire my parents because they are incredible people that deserve so many blessings! Of course my husband and I would vacation to cool places with it too!
4. Do you have any hidden talents or party tricks?
I can do this weird belly roll to make it look like an alien is about to pop out of my stomach haha.
5. What advice would you give to your younger self?
There is so much I wish I could tell my younger self. If I only had one thing to tell her, I'd tell her to please ask for help. You never have to do it on your own. With God and our loved ones, we never have to suffer in secret and they can help us get back to joy. If I had asked for help sooner in times throughout my life, I could have saved so much pain, hurt and regret. On the other hand, that pain has helped me grow in wisdom and write some cool songs. There is always a reason.
6. Who, in the entertainment industry, do you love that you think more people should know about? Why? Shout them out and spread the love!
Alright, I am gonna be biased here and give a shout out to my brother, Dan Stacy. He is the Director and Producer for Avenue Studios (on Youtube, TikTok, Instagram as avenuestudios_ny, and Facebook). His creativity is BEYOND anything you can imagine! He has so much talent and I wish the world would give that more love. He puts so much passion into his work and family, that, if he had the larger audience, time, and finances, he could create even more incredible work.
