GV: Realization to yourself, you don’t associate yourself to what you were just seeing, you know that there was so much more to you. It was almost like you connected yourself to the Universe from childhood by putting that in your mind.

Jahna Sebastian: Yes, also from the start I knew that I came here with a specific purpose and I have to fulfill it. Based on the Knowledge that I have and experiences that I’ve had, I have a certain vision of how this world can come together, so I know I came here for that, and that might be totally different to some of the current ways that the society is telling people to be. Actually, what I’m trying to tell people is how to change the society to make it better, how people can change within themselves. So I’m prepared to it in a completely different way and I never follow the bandwagon, I’m going the opposite way. If there is a bandwagon, I’m running away. But I know that it’s also a part of my purpose in this life to do that. It has always been that, I felt it with my heart pretty much my entire life. As the years go by, you know even more, exactly what you need to do. So even with my albums, they come completely directly from my heart and from what I feel.

Telling a story through music: Jahna Sebastian talks to rapper GV in Manhattan, New York

GV: In my videos I like to go a little in depth, I like to make them like little short films. I definitely love story lines in music itself. When you hear a beat by itself, it has a story line to it, when you add lyrics to it, you’re creating different stories, so when you put a visual behind it, it’s like a third parallel. So I take that very seriously, I make sure that my videos are gonna grab you, when you see them, they gonna make sense to you, as you’re watching in order, you’re gonna see how one leads to the other, and Imma continue that journey.

Jahna Sebastian: So you are a true storyteller.

GV: Definitely

Jahna Sebastian: This is what it’s about, it’s about telling stories. Not just dropping random tunes, just because that’s what’s out there, trying to get the clicks and the likes. It’s about telling the stories, one comes out of another, I definitely support that. That’s how I create as well, my second album comes out of the first album, it’s a continuous journey.

GV: Definitely, I’ve been able to hear some of your music. I definitely feel the spirit and the heart, the passion through it, and that’s what automatically drew me to your music and the energy itself.

Jahna Sebastian: Thank you

Inspiration and Longevity – Jahna Sebastian talks to rapper GV in Manhattan, New York, May 2018

 Jahna Sebastian : ‘For generations to come, that you were actually creating something that meant a part of the description of the era of the time, so that people could look into that, like, ‘Yeah, I know about that, that’s a stamp of those times, that place, thank you for sharing it’. But if it’s just random stuff, then nobody can relate to it.

GV : Year, kids are not gonna care if you get a hundred likes

Jahna Sebastian : Yes, we’re here to create longevity, to create stories and take you on a journey, and as I said, it’s just like in my album: we are putting legends on the map. It’s not just thinking that not caring is the way, it’s about opening your eyes and realizing that the everyday people can put legends on the map, they are the legends they can be, that if you really put your mind to it and it exercise your potential, that’s what it’s about.

GV: As soon as you say that, I’m thinking it’s not been just about re-inspiring the artists nowadays, it’s re-inspiring the listeners too. I think, may be the listeners lost their inspiration or lost their sense of feeling like they put that artist up there. It’s more like, they’ve been given artists to choose from. We have to re-inspire the listeners, so we can re-inspire the artists.

Jahna Sebastian: Yes, we have to totally create that change because now it the time, we are at crossroads of history, actually right now with all this technology.
