Jane Lui is proof that in order to have a thriving career in the music business one must have the following: how to play the heck out of an instrument, work a camera from the front and back, perform a concert just as good as a musical and, most importantly, have a very supportive fan base. Like many indie artists, Lui’s YouTube fan base, aka Janiemonsters, have helped catapult her to a successful career so far. They raised $11,600 in 2 months for the San Diego singer-songwriter to fund the creation of her album, "Goodnight Company", which was nominated for the 2011 San Diego Music Award for Best Local recording. Also, she received rave reviews for her first acting role as Penny in the live stage adaptation of Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. Now Lui is making her tour rounds from Northern California to Switzerland beginning in September. Other well favored artists such as Kina Grannis and David Choi give her shoutouts on a daily basis – the ultimate fanfare indeed. – Nicole Dawley
