Upcoming Artist, Androtta Drops Single at Midnight March 21, 2025!

I met Janeilla Burns over five years ago, back when I was just a stylist in a local salon—juggling motherhood, studying writing, and pursuing creative dreams on the side. She walked in like a real-life Disney princess—Filipina, radiant, and effortlessly magnetic.

Even then, I knew she had it.
Janeilla was an icon.

At the time, she was about to study music at Old Dominion University, mastering her voice while learning her industry from the inside out. What I didn’t know then was that this bubbly, ambitious young woman had already packed a lifetime of accomplishments into her journey.

She’d been performing since childhood—piano lessons at three, dance training in ballet, hip-hop, jazz, and tap. She performed at Disneyland, opened for Pentatonix in high school, and trained with industry professionals, including directors from Boy Meets World and Drake and Josh. She didn’t just have stage presence—she earned it!

And then, like the powerhouse she is, she put her rising fame on pause to serve our country.

As a U.S. Navy veteran and Operations Specialist, Janeilla carried her passion with her—even singing at her own graduation. Stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, she embraced the honor of service while holding tight to the dream that had always been part of her.

In 2020, she took another bold leap—becoming the first Filipina to win Miss Jetset, proving again that she wasn’t made to follow trends. She was built to set them.

“I was over the moon,” she told Jetset Magazine.
“It reminded me I can do anything I set my mind to.”

Now, under the artist name Androtta, she’s released original singles, led her a cappella group as president, and performed alongside institutions like Harvard. She’s nearing graduation from ODU’s F. Ludwig Diehn School of Music with a focus in Sound Recording Technology.

Fast forward to now—2025.
Janeilla stepping out of her military boots and college halls, and I’m stepping away from the shears and blow dryers.
Together, we face bold new beginnings, our faces turned toward the wind, bracing ourselves for whatever comes next.

And tonight at midnight? She’s releasing what may be her most personal work yet:

“Self Love Journey.”
And I’m dropping this article to support her—because she f*ing deserves it.

This song isn’t just a vibe. It’s a statement.
It’s a reflection of everything she’s become: an artist, a veteran, a visionary.
It’s for the dreamers who detour.
The fighters who keep singing through the silence.
The ones still learning to love themselves, loudly and without apology.

So without further ado…

Stream it. Save it. Share it.
Because this is just the beginning of Janeilla Burns’ Self Love Journey.

And maybe—just maybe—it’s the beginning for both of us.

“…I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” – Casablanca.
