Key takeaways 6
Jane Remover lives in Chicago but feels isolated from the local music scene, preferring to stay home when in town rather than networking with other local artists like Underscores or 13 Degrees.
She maintains three distinct musical aliases: Jane Remover (main hyperpop/rap), Venturing (stripped-down, vulnerable acoustic songs), and Leroy (experimental remixes and sample-heavy tracks).
She prefers performing in large venues with barricades to maintain emotional distance from the audience, finding intimate small-room tours uncomfortable due to a lack of parasocial connection.
Her DIY video production ethos involves shooting on phones with minimal budgets and short notice, as demonstrated by the 'Nowhere' EP video filmed in one continuous shot on Michigan Avenue.
She experienced a home invasion where thieves stole coins, a boot, and a Beats Pill speaker, leading her to sleep on her couch for safety and comfort.
She avoids viral TikTok dance challenges, preferring organic growth and specific types of viral moments like song intros looping.
