My Work: Music, films, commercials etc.
This is a very brief list of some of the stuff I have worked on and that has been released, not counting stuff that hasn't been finished or released yet, but will be in the future. I keep working and believing, non stop, thousands of hours and sacrificing many things for what I am passionate about: music and film. Even in when I was unlawfully detained for two months while pregnant with my daughter I kept practicing, booking Christian prayer room when available to play piano and sing. I have been doing music from age 7, decided to pursue music career professionally at age 11 despite being discouraged by my Dad as it wasn't considered a "proper profession like an IT specialist or a doctor".
Anyway, I learned to make beats, engineer, write, perform, sing, dance and do the whole 360 in music and also music business to a certain level and I keep reading, practicing and creating. I study every day and still have a lot to learn and make more music, more films, more videos. One thing I wish like most other musicians: a bigger field of opportunities to play in and to do bigger things, for a while I feel I have been stuck in a position where I have tons of ideas, just need a millie to put them to work. Yes, I have done a lot of things low budget or zero budget, but let's face it you need real money to really make not just a music video, but a real movie to illustrate music piece, not just a PA performance, but a proper stage show with lighting, visuals etc. and to put certain ideas across. One day ...

CARNIVAL SPECIAL: Jahna Sebastian "Tell Me" new dancehall
As we are approaching Notting Hill Carnival, let's get into the right mood! Brand new dancehall tune on Coolie Gal riddim and you know, the sound of it also resonates with my Indian roots, seen!
A bit of story behind my reggae and dancehall roots
I first recorded dancehall back in 2004 when I was a part of the first Russian dancehall act - the group called "Muzungu", I remember the first time we performed at Bob Marley Festival together in 2005 and we had a live set up with sexy dancers, we were the only ones doing it among old school roots reggae heads who's sound was mostly inspired by Jamaican reggae of the 70's. The crowd was clearly divided into two groups: one half got into the rhythm immediately shaking their dreadlocks and/or booty and another half of Russian rastas with a "positive attitude" was just standing there with there mouths and eyes wide open like WTF? Of course, after we got the right amount of hate to prove that we made history, other dancehall singers/groups appeared and grew fast like magic mushrooms in Russia especially since I left Russia in 2006.

Valentine's Day special "Always Be There" by Jahna Sebastian
Check out my new love tune "Always Be There"
(Faithful Riddim, the song is written and vocals mixed by Jahna Sebastian)
I decided to go back to my reggae roots for a minute, just like back in the day when I was in Russia in a band called "Muzungu" (we released an album "Leave It Up" there) and then I had my reggae/hip hop band "Jah Soldiers"in 2005-2006 before I moved to London. My first performance as an artist with my own lyrics was on Bob Marley festival in Moscow in 2005 with "Muzungu". I am also working on a remix of "Always Be There"
download the tune free from here:
I am working on my EP which will included "Emancipation II" and have the sound of dubstep. drum&bass and just all sorts of bass music :)
Also I working on a reggae mixtape
stay tuned and come an party with me at Clique Bar in Coventry at Hillz FM "Valentines Love" party:
