Juanita was born and raised in Medicine
Hat, Alberta Canada. Her music training started at the age of five.
She started performing with bands in her teen years. Juanita's talent
won her a music scholarship to Anderson University in Anderson Indiana.
Juanita returned to Medicine Hat in the early 1980's and started a
career as a music teacher. She also continued as a church pianist and
performed with World Vision . During this time Juanita started
performing at special occasions as a soloist. The Medicine Hat College
dance department hired Juanita as a ballet accompanist. Using the
spontaneity of ballet classes, Juanita discovered the opportunity to
improvise, arrange, compose and create music at a moments notice.
Juanita, always looking for something new and challenging entered the
jazz field and was soon playing keyboards with the Lyle Rebbeck Jazz
Trio. Juanita released her first independent CD entitled Holy Hands in
May 2002. Her music has been aired on many radio stations in Canada. In
2004 Juanita appeared on two television programs aired across north
America, "It's A New Day" and the "Miracle" channel.
One of Juanita's major goals is to introduce people to Christ through
her music. The real heart of Juanita's playing comes from God's
Spirit touching her in a personal and passionate way.
