As a result, she later worked for Al Bano & Romina Power and as a result, in the end took over Romina’s parts completely.

At the change of the millennium, Jane represented Switzerland at the Eurosong Festival in Stockholm, worked as singer and dancer with DJ Bobo and as a lecturer for ‘pop vocal performances’ at the University of Arts in Berne, Switzerland.
