Working with her Grammy winner partner on the ‘Shine’ album and many Club Remixes, Cyndi and Jan were writing partners for most of the 1990s.

Jan’s songs have also been recorded by artists such as legendary Rock and Roll Hall of fame inductee and 2014 Oscar winner, Darlene Love. Steps, Ani di Franco, Anthony Head, DJs Julian Marsh, Junior Vasquez, 3kStatic and Soul Solution have also recorded her songs.

She co-wrote the UK song for Europe and provided incidental music for the Winter Olympics with long time writing partner Chico Freeman, with whom she is currently producing PledgeMusic Artist Estelle Kokot. The beautiful Freeman/Pulsford songbook, 'The Sound of You’’ is a collection of songs in the tradition of the jazz standard and they are recording it in South Africa with the legendary bassist Herbie Tsoaeli.
