[11] After finding a lump in her neck in 2022, Janice was diagnosed with a sarcoma, a rare, aggressive type of cancerous tumor that affects the bone marrow, in her scalene muscle.

[7][12][13] At the time, Janice was working as a geospatial information scientist, taking classes toward a master's degree in coastal geology, and writing and singing her own music.

[14] Janice became engaged to her partner Kyle Higginbotham that August, and the two married that December, knowing her time was short.

[3] Janice released her song "Dance You Outta My Head" on TikTok on January 19, 2024, four days after beginning hospice.

My last joy would be if you pre-saved my song 'Dance You Outta My Head' in my bio and streamed it because all proceeds go straight to my 7-year-old boy I'm leaving behind.

[3] Two weeks after being released, "Dance You Outta My Head" charted at number 37 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs.

[20][21][22] Her brother shared on Instagram that additional projects created by Janice would be released posthumously with her consent.
