Janet Paschal,a native of Reidsville, North Carolina, was raised in a Christian and musically inclined family. Her grandfather was a minister. Following high school graduation, Paschal was invited to become a member of the southern gospel group, The LeFevres. The group changed its name to the Rex Nelon Singers after the last LeFevre retired from the group. She became a member of televangelist Jimmy Swaggart’s Crusade Team. Paschal began her solo career in 1986, releasing her first album entitled 'I Give you Jesus' on Jimmy Swaggart's record label, Shiloh Records.
She released the album, Journey of Grace in 1994, and in 1997 released The Good Road, authoring a book by the same title. Since then, Janet has received several awards, released seven more successful albums, and received Grammy nominations.
