Janelle Barreto was Exploiting Eve's lead singer from 1997 until June 2004.

Effective June 2004, after completing her studio work for "Sideways", Janelle announced she would depart from Exploiting Eve to pursue a solo project. Janelle's contributions to the band have been tremendous and we wish her success with her future endeavors. It will be a challenge to continue without her but a tribute to her efforts that we do.
