I am an experienced music professional who is passionate about creating, performing and sharing the art of music in its purest form. I have lived in the UK, Japan and the USA in the Detroit Metro Area. After spending a year on a music sabbatical in San Francisco to reinvent my artistic direction, I returned to Detroit to share my newly acquired knowledge through my return to vocal coaching, as a Keynote Concert presenter, a songwriter, a gigging musician of originals and covers and the group leader of Balanced Breakfast Detroit, a music industry meet up community, started in San Francisco and now in over 22 cities in the USA. Most recently the affects of COVID have prevented me from working as a teacher and performer. I have spent that time writing, recording and acquiring new music skills, including, in the special interest area of music wellness.Short Bio: Singer, songwriter, and performer Jan Thompson is first and foremost a citizen of the world.
