"Her poignantly warm, rich, soulful voice lovingly and profoundly penetrates the soul of all who are blessed to hear her. From the first note, the listener becomes spellbound. Not only her voice, but her delivery captivates." - Dr. Diane Brenda Williams
 
 
Janine Carter was introduced to gospel, Jazz and blues at a very early age by her parents and grandmother. This Pennsylvania native cannot remember a time when music was not a part of her very existence. She began her musical journey like so many contemporary artists as a member of the choir at her church in Aliquippa, PA. She also had the opportunity to expand on her solo performances as a member of the Bach Choir of PA which performed some of Broadways most exciting musicals. Janine continued to use the gift she was given to perform at various functions and special events until she relocated to the Washington, DC Metropolitan area in the summer of 1988. During the summer of 1996 Janine performed her debut concert in the DC area at New Genesis Baptist Church; this celestial songbird has been flying ever since. 
 
Audiences have been delighted with her performances at leading DC jazz venues such as: The Mandarin Oriental, Kaufmann's, Laporta's, The Strathmore, Twins Jazz, The U Street Jazz series, The FMJS East Coast Jazz Festival  and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz festival and the legendary Washington DC supper Club Blues Alley in addition to several prestigious White House Events.  She has also completed four international tours to Italy, Russia and Israel
Janine has shared the stage with area-wide jazz musicians; pianist Aaron Grave, Vince Smith, Eric Byrd, Allyn Johnson, Glenn Douglas, Chris Grasso and Ron Elliston; bassist Wes Biles, James King, Saxophonists Paul Carr, Brian Settles and Marshall Keys and percussionist Nasar Abadey Jeff Neal and the late Ricky Loza and Mike Smith. 
 
In 2006 Janine join the cast of "Sistas Can Sang, A Tribute to Female Jazz Legends" where she portrays the legendary Dinah Washington. 
With the Release of "At Last" this will mark Janine's seventh exploration. She has released six previous CD's in two different genres; (Jazz) In the Moment, A Song For You, Inside A Silent Tear and Sailing (Gospel) God Spoke To Me and Janine Gilbert-Carter & Friends Live at the FMJS quarterly gospel concert. 
 
Janine's “prayer is to have a positive effect on all that hear her music and to exude the feeling of warmth and love through her music”.
