She appeared in the Australian edition of "Who's Who of Rock & Roll" (Moonlight Publishing, 1993) and her songs featured in the TV series 'Home and Away'. However, as Kitto wanted to avoid the female rock cliché and pursue her career as a freelance songwriter, it eventually led to a parting of the ways between her and Mushroom Records. She continued her career as an independent artist with The Harbour Agency, performing at various clubs in Sydney, and also opening up for artists such as Billy Thorpe, Diesel, Ian Moss, Richard Clapton, Jon Stevens, Mark Seymour and Nathan Cavaleri. Kitto also encountered a surprise meeting with Metallica's tour manager Tony Smith from Q-Prime Mgmt and shook hands with James Hetfield himself who had scouted two of her shows and surprised her with tickets to Metallica's Sydney concert in the summer of 1994. They both gave her a Q-Prime business card to pursue contact which she lost somewhere in her travels and had never forgotten since. Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter (Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers) spotted her in a solo show in Sydney one evening and invited her to join him in the US to play and co-write songs. She moved to Los Angeles in 1994, and performed in various music clubs, including Whisky a Go Go and The Roxy Theatre, but when her visa expired she returned to Australia.  1995 Kitto recorded her first independent EP "20 Jacksonia". She was then invited to travel to Europe which included an appearance on a Swedish TV show, 'Good Morning Sweden' TV4 performing "Jason", a song about a street musician whom she developed a friendship jamming alongside him on the streets of Sydney after her shows had finished bringing alongside her audience entourage. Kitto began spending more time around Scandinavia under the guidance of booking agent and later manager Jörgen Wiking who had her performing at various Nordic festivals e.g. Västervik Visfestivalen, Peace and Love, Midtfyn Festival in Denmark, Puistoblues in Finland and The Scandinavian Guitar Festival. She also joined the bill with numerous touring acts such as Joey Tempest(Europe) and Wilson Pickett and also made a guest appearance on Sweden's Triple & Touch TV show. She recorded an EP titled "Jane Kitto", of which her single "Mary" and "Vimmi K" received national exposure on SR Swedish Radio and television.  1997–99 Kitto toured with her live shows mainly in Germany and France with her new band Baby Porcelain along with US co-writer Tim Tate and French drummer Frank Bessard.
