Jayne was originally Wayne; when she was a young boy she always felt like a girl.In her late teens, she moved to New York after being shot at by red necks. She was soon involved with the Andy Warhol circle which included Patti Smith and Lou Reed and starred in a play call ‘Femme Fatale.’ She then wrote her own play called ‘World - Birth Of a Nation’ and also featured in the Andy Warhol play ‘Pork’ which ran at the Roundhouse in London.
Her first band Queen Elizabeth led to a deal with the management company Mainman who looked after several artists including David Bowie. She made demos for them and they financed a show called ‘Wayne at the Trucks’ but was then dropped.
Her first recordings were included on the Max’s Kansas City album before she signed to Safari Records. The infamous ‘Fuck Off’ sold many, many copies and led to her first Martin Birch produced album, ‘The Electric Chairs.’ Two more Safari albums followed.
She became rock music's first openly transgender singer and continued gigging and recording. She has just recorded a new single and is also now also a highly regarded artist.
In the interview, she talks us through her life with all the ups and downs.
