Jane used to be a student at the University of Westminster, and I supervised her thesis on Devendra Barnhart and Billy Childish, as well as her taking the songwriting module I ran (Jane has a lovely voice and writes great songs). She signed Grimes to 4AD as well as driving them bonkers by playing Ivor Cutler to them every Friday (as well as The Young Marble Giant, which didn't drive them bonkers). I am very proud of her- and this interview done by another ex-Westminster student, Emmy the Great, who has also developed a flourishing career since leaving:
