In search for her career after college White traveled to Nashville in hopes to start her solo career, she learned country music and her smalltime act wasn’t the direction she wanted and decided to stay in Phoenix to create a band.

While piecing the band together, White worked in the restaurant industry as it offered her the flexibility to write music and to focus on the future.

Disbanded
In May 2014 White moved to Los Angles in attempts to recreate the Skyebrook sound that represented the Phoenix band in order to gain public and professional notability in the music industry. The Phoenix band parted ways on good terms and all kept in touch regularly. While in Hollywood, White collaborated with local artists and formed a five member cast under the kept name Skyebrook. While preforming in Hollywood, the band preformed at many notable venues such as House of Blues LA, The Viper Room, and Whisky A Go Go.

Reformation
White, missing her original family of artists moved back home in December 2014. Within weeks of moving back home, she quickly convinced the original band members to once again preform together on stage. It was around this time the band moved to change the name to Jane N' The Jungle as it better suited the image and positive direction the band was heading in.

Touring

Honda
In 2016, Angel Rock LLC came to terms with Honda to feature a Jane N The Jungle upbeat country song "Open Road Blues," to be featured in Honda Commercials in Alabama and Oklahoma City. "Open Road Blues" was originally a country western song, however since its inception had been altered to a rock song. Although the original tune was catchy, the band concluded that the country mix does not accurately represent the direction of the band or its musical image. As a result, the song was rewritten to more represent a rock culture. Although now a rock song, it still represents a slight country twist and most of the lyrics were preserved as well.

Notable Shows
