As one of the resident singers of the show, Jan honed her talents resulting in television appearances as a performer in various variety shows in the country. She released her eponymous debut album in 1995 with the single "Love Song" highlighting her soulful voice. She was included in the cast of the original soap Mula sa Puso as the lead's best friend.

In late 2010, Jan released her sophomore entitled "Once" boasting 11-tracks of both revivals and originals, two of which were penned by Jan herself including the carrier single "White Walls."
