Jana Herzen (born April 24, 1959 in Washington, D.C.), is a singer-songwriter with folk, world, rock, and jazz influences who founded Motéma Music, a record label focused on jazz and world music. Before founding the label in 2003, she worked as a musician (her album Soup's on Fire being the label's first release) and as an art agent for Winston Smith, a collage artist published by Last Gasp who designed the logo for Motéma.
