New Year 2025 with Nicole

 Nicole and I have a tradition to celebrate New Year's Eve at home. It is a family holiday and I cook a lot of traditional food. It is a time associated with childhood on one hand, and new plans for the coming future, on another. It is one of my favorite holidays in the year. 



2024 has been a productive year for me academically. I started learning Latin and Ancient Greek, took a course in Old English literature at the university of Oxford. As an poet and musician, I learned English through the sounds of music, songs, cultural references and what trully connects people. This is the same with studying ancient languages - by acquiring the knowledge of the way people spoke thousands of years ago, it is more vivid to understand their view of life and the atmosphere. Architectures, myths and legends speak loudly through the original language and symbols of the people.

Nicole was working hard to get through her GCSE exams, especially during spring 2024. It was a milestone in maturity and finding out about the personal aspects of discipline. I also got further introduced to the British school education system and how it differs from the way I learned. It will be an interesting topic to discuss - some observations on educational process in different countries from a persepctive of a creative, an artist. Nicole is studying Classical Civilisation, History and Socialogy for A Level. She also has moved schools for the first time, which is an adventure in itself as she has studied at the same school - Old Palace of John Whitgift - since reception, from the age of 4 till the age of 16. Now, in Years 12 and 13 she moved to a different school in South London, still in the same area.

I continued the journey of my third album 'Revelation Ships' with new promotion of my songs from this album. I travelled around England, filming places relevant to the songs and exploring. Hastings is one of my towns to visit, because of the layers of history and the fact, that it feels like you are almost abroad. Oxford is a treasure of discoveries when it comes to research at the library and the Ashmolean Museum.

I received certificates and accreditation from the university of Oxford for my course in Latin, Ancient Greek, Ancestral Voices The Oldest English Literature, Archaeology. I also took 'Magic in the Medieval Society' course. I visited an archaeological site for the first time, it was at Cookham.

 2025 is coming to continue this creative journey.

Jahna Sebastian Speaks About the Healing Power of Music at Roots Restoration Event in Croydon, Part 1



Singer, songwriter, producer, musician, artist, creative and teacher Jahna Sebastian speaks about the healing power of music at Roots Restoration event at Project B in Croydon 2 February 2020 Root Restoration Host Nat: We've got Jahna Sebastian, who is a singer, songwriter, composer. Jahna Sebastian: - Thank you so much for having me here today. I was invited here by Susy Brit, who is my very good friend. It's a very special event. I can say, that music definitely heals people and it has been a very big part of my life. I've overcome a lot of things. Even when I was 15 years old, this was one of the first times, when I've encountered the true power of music and just generally creativity. My mom got cancer when I was 16 and it was very difficult for me to got through it. I was listening to Bob Marley's songs non-stop every day and then I realised that as well as a musician, it is very important to empower people and not just be there for mere entertainment. That's also good, but at the same time, it can truly heal souls and empower. I've seen a lot of people also going through situations. When we speak about mind over matter, I would say that, this literally has been something that I've discovered throughout my life, that it's very important to know that: When you are down, when you are at the rock bottom, the only way is up. I've written a song about that as well. - Наш гость сегодня Жанна Себастьян Она - певица, автор песен, композитор Жанна Себастьян: - Спасибо большое за то, что меня сегодня приняли. Отдельное спасибо моей подруге — Сьюзи Бритт — за приглашение. Сегодня — мы присутствуем на особенном мероприятии, и я с легкой душой могу сказать: Музыка лечит людей. Вместе с музыкой — Я прошла очень много трудностей, и она всегда была частью моей жизни. Даже в 15 лет — я успела осознать всю силу и мощь музыки, а так-же искусства в целом. Когда мне было 16 — моей маме диагностировали рак. Это было очень тяжелое время для меня, и мне пришлось пройти через очень многие испытания. Именно тогда я слушала Боба Марли нон-стопом, и тогда-же до меня в очередной раз дошло, что помимо развлечения толпы — очень важно использовать весь потенциал этого вида искусства; важно донести поддержку до слушателя, дабы помочь ему, через что-бы он ни проходил. Музыка для проведения досуга тоже имеет место быть, но не стоит забывать: Музыка воистину может лечить души. Я видела также путь многих людей через тернии Когда мы говорим о духе и его превосходстве над материей — хотелось бы сказать вот это: В течении всей своей жизни — я не раз убеждалась в правдивости следующих строк, и написала о них песню: Когда ты на самом дне — двигаться можно только вверх.

Global Superstar Jahna Sebastian releases her Explosive New Single ‘Calling’


Global Superstar Jahna Sebastian releases ‘Calling’, the second single off her critically acclaimed album Legends On The Map.  The London based singer/songwriter/ producer and engineer released the album this past spring. The album featured her first single ‘Looking for Love’ which was a smash hit. Legends On the Map was written, recorded, produced, performed and mixed by Ms. Sebastian at Multivizion Music. It’s a one woman project like her first album The Alchemist.  Ms. Sebastian stated when talking about the new album, “It continues the story as I unfold my vision for the world to bring people together through music. It’s a conceptual album and every song is like a point in the map in a tale. It means that it’s time for people to co create our history together and realize the potential and the legends are happening in real life as we speak.”‘

‘Calling’ was written, recorded, produced, arranged, performed, mixed by Ms. Sebastian at her studio Multivizion Music. When asked about her new single, Ms. Sebastian stated,  “The song has that light summer feel, like a soundtrack when you set on a journey. It is about finding your own calling, following your dream and realizing that now is that time to go for it, expand your potential, live the dream with a love of freedom. Sometimes it’s too easy to lose one self in stereotypes, but there is a way to have the courage to step up against any fake scenarios or versions of who you are that were a mere attempt by someone else to fit you into. It’s time to create a personal path. I wrote this song as it’s that time to live the truth. It’s love that you can feel inside, it’s that passion for the knowledge, it’s that beautiful idea that had to come to reality. Whatever it is, every moment is a part of a bigger story and when your heart is calling, the universe will answer. Every song on my album is like a place on the map, familiar to many in a personal way, ‘Calling’ is like that time you are ready at the station with new exciting horizons in sight. Speaking of the horizons and the hope for peace in this world. ”

Ms. Sebastian recently did a photo shoot with photographer Rob Wilson for Croydon Peace Festival exhibition at the Croydon Town Hall.  She wore a silver dress by Luv Look UK during the shoot. One of the pictures features her holding a dove in her hand as the symbol of world peace. It shows the different sides of Croydon while showcasing a peaceful mindset you can have while in the busy city. Its quite symbolic of our time. The photographs taken were works of art. The photographs showed how diverse the city is and showcased people in such an intimate and intricate way.

Ms. Sebastian stated, “In the world where so much is currently going on, this exhibition is very much on point at the right time as one of the ways for us to come together as humanity is to celebrate peace and love reminding ourselves what it’s like to find peace within yourself. It is also showing how we can build a better community. People were using #whatdoespeacelookliketoyou to contribute to the movement. ”

SKY TV channel London Live TV did a special feature about the exhibition with an interview with photographer Rob Wilson and Ms. Sebastian. During her interview Ms. Sebastian stated, ‘Croydon is a very multi cultural place, it constantly inspires me. There is a dove in my hand, and that is the ultimate symbol of peace. So you can see that you can have that feeling walking through the city, while having a bit of nature, while having these questions and answers, but at the same time looking at the dove and having that feeling, because it comes from inside. It’s in our hands, everyday people can make that change, we can create it, embrace every single moment, and it can all start from Croydon. Croydon is the place to be.’

Ms. Sebastian also did an instagram live video with the photographer where they spoke about peace, art and many ways that culture could help promote these ideas. She wore a long black gown by Luv Look UK, earrings and black bag by designer Johnny Loves Rosie.

Ms. Sebastian was booked and busy, she also found the time to collaborate with luxury fragrance brand Miller Harris and film a special episode about her conversation with fragrance expert Nick Gilbert. The conversation took place at an event the London shop was holding. The shop is inspired by the poets and featured art installations showcasing different fragrance with accompanying poetic pieces and sounds. They discussed the inspiration from the use of perfume in the ancient times and how it can be incorporated in the artful way into modern day life.

When asked what 'I Wish ' is about Ms. Sebastian stated, " 'I Wish' is about reaching out to someone with desire to let them know about true love. There is so much focus in the world on material things and possessions that sometimes it it gets hard for people to notice real love when it's right in front of them. In a place where love of things replaces love of humans there needs to be an extra effort to make a wish and get through to break the ice in the heart. It's about love on both sides but one of them just hesitates to open up and the song is about the deep wish of the heart that lifts the restrictions and shows light. It's a song about hope and fulfillment because that's what is real and true.The song is about the importance of it in human experience, whether it's for another person of self love. Some people can find themselves even closed off from loving themselves. Real love will always find a way.
