Jane launched her professional music career while still in high school,[7] recording her first singles in New York City through the Manhattan Showcase Project after classes.[8][9] She auditioned for Season 18 of American Idol, where she made it through the first two rounds and into the Top 40.[10] She released her debut single "In My Blood" on April 18, 2020. Over the next few months she independently released more tracks such as "Red Flag", "Bloodline", and "Kind of Love", the last of which was streamed more than seven million times on Spotify.[11] She was accepted to the University of California at Berkeley but decided not to attend, and to pursue her professional career instead.

At the end of the year, Distractify listed as one of its favorite TikTok trends of 2022 a "Crazy Riff Challenge" in which TikTok fans tried to "recreate the insane vocals of Natalie Jane."[17]

In February 2023, Jane performed in Hollywood at the launch of the Whitney Houston Hotel by Whitney Houston's estate.[18] Her single "Seeing You With Other Girls" was released in March 2023.[7] On April 28 she released the single "I'm Her."[19] In July 2023, she released "I'm Good", a collaboration with charlieonnafriday.[20] On November 17, 2023, she released her debut album, Where Am I?, with four new songs and six of her earlier singles.[21][22] As of November 2023, she had over 8.7 million followers on TikTok.[13] She joined Bishop Briggs and MisterWives on tour for "Don't Look Down" in fall 2023.[23][24]

Following her debut, she launched her first major headlining world tour starting in February 2024, playing dates across North America and Europe, which was sold out.[25][26] Her song "The Top" was featured in the 2024 Netflix film Uglies.[27] The Sick to My Stomach EP was released on September 27, 2024 featuring tracks such as "Somebody to Someone (I Just Wanna Fall in Love)" and "Tattoos".[28][29] She also completed the "Sick To My Stomach Tour" in early 2025 with special guest Chandler Leighton.[30] Jane's vocal performances earned her recognition on Grammy's "Rising Artists to Watch" and People's "Emerging Artists" 2024 lists.[31][32]

[edit]

On October 24, 2025, Jane released her sophomore studio album the world i didn't want through Capitol Records.[33][34] To support her sophomore album, she embarked on her third world tour from February through May 2026.[35][36][37] During a show in March 2026, Jane went viral after reuniting with a childhood classmate named Benji, who put gum in her hair back in the second grade, apologizing with a large bouquet of roses.[38][39][40] On March 11, 2026, Jane released "Sabotage", followed by "Dance Til I Die" on July 31.[41][42][43] In May 2026, she branched out into electronic dance music by providing vocals for "Meet Again", a collaboration with DJ Kaskade and Layton Giordani.[44] In August 2026, the song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Airplay chart.[45]
