The Wicked assembled in late August of 2011 as a duo and now operates as a solo act fronted by singer/songwriter Janele Mystique (18). With a revolving door of special guest appearances for live shows, every performance brings about a unique one of a kind thrill. Janele immediately captures any audience with her strong Gwen Stefani like pipes along with her aggressive guitar and piano skills.
This Gypsy-Punk Cabaret based out of Salem, MA was quickly recognized by musician, studio, and label owner Michael Abiuso who signed The Wicked to SwitchBitch Records early 2012. The Wicked recorded and released their full-length debut titled: “Never Trust the Dead” August 9th and are now following up by treating their fans to a free digital download of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” medley/cover on Halloween. This track was performed by The Wicked/Janele Mystique with the assistance of Mr. Chark King (The Venetia Fair) on bass and Mike Abiuso who composed, performed and produced the track at SwitchBitch Studios (Boston/Brooklyn)
