Janine has been performing on stage since age 7. She started off as a competitive dancer, then taught Ballet and Modern Jazz till age 22, gaining many accolades.

An obvious transition into Aerobics Instructing took place, and Janine instructed for Les Mills World of Fitness and many other Gyms for ten years. She also performed in a Cardio Funk Dance Troupe for Nightclubs and Corporate Functions.

Acting was on the agenda also, with Janine taking lead roles in theatre productions.

Janine has been singing since Primary School, jamming with bands and singing solo. She went on to sing in Christian Bands and her own first Covers band was formed at Christian City Church, Manukau.

She has received training from renowned Singing Coaches Linda Garner

(in 'whole body' singing) and Robyn Hill (for the technical side).

Janine and Rob both formed TALL POPPIES out of a love for live entertainment.
