JAHNA SEBASTIAN BIOGRAPHY

Jahna Sebastian is a British Russian Indian multifaceted Visionary, Spiritual Healer and World Teacher, Musical Genius, Mystic creating a positive change in the world. She is talented in every field. Jahna is singer, videographer, sound engineer and accomplished musician who writes,

produces, performs, engineers, mixes her own music doing it all from programming

instruments to editing. She is also producing and engineering for other artists, having

recorded and mixed entire albums and mixtapes in her studio Multivizion Music, which

since it’s establishment has become the centre of Russian rap and grime scene in London.

Together with rapper Oxxxymiron whose album she engineered, they brought grime and

dubstep to Russia. (Oxxxymiron was named Discovery of the Year at the Russian GQ

awards.) At the age of 19 Ms. Sebastian was chosen through an audition of thousands of

applicants to receive a free public Master Class by legendary, world renowned vocal

coach and founder of Speech Level Singing, Seth Riggs. Classically trained on piano

while earning her Degree in "Music Business" a year earlier from the five year program

at the age of 20, at the prestigious Russian Academy of Music, she had also learned to

read music at the age of 7 when she played domra in children's orchestra for 8 years.

She is of South Indian and Russian origins based in Croydon, South London she

started her career as a singer and mc in Russia joining reggae group “Muzungu” in 2004,

which then led her to joining p-funk group Clean Tone and establishing her own reggae

band “Jah Soldiers” in 2005. While she became the top female reggae artist in Russia at

the time, it was the rising neo-Nazi movement and racism she has been coming across

more and more on a daily basis to the point when she had to flee to London in summer

2006. She had just turned 20 and had to learn the new rules and start her life all over

again completely on her own in England. She worked in a legendary music technology

shop “Turnkey” for 8 months as a sales expert being the only girl on the shop floor

selling music equipment. No stranger to adversity, after trying to claim asylum she was

detained illegally at the Yarl's Wood detention center while three months pregnant on

November 21, 2007 for two months to fight being deported back to Russia where she

faced oppression and discrimination by racist neo-Nazi thugs. After a two year battle

Ms. Sebastian's

case was finally approved and she was granted her stay in UK.

She continued pursuing music while raising her daughter born in 2008 (whose father

is American super producer Swizz Beats) and for three years she had been mostly

working behind the scenes juggling motherhood and work. After producing and

engineering a few hundred songs for other artists, releasing her “Emancipation EP” in

2009 and a few other songs independently, filming three music videos and acting in three

short movies, a feature film "Reversed" released in autumn 2012 and numerous

commercials, she is focusing on her solo career and upcoming projects. She has an

astonishing track record of hundreds of songs including recording entire album by

Oxxxymiron “Vechniy Jid” which had been rated Best Rap Album of 2011 in Russia and

nominated for Russian Urban Music Awards. Together with Oxxxymiron she helped

bringing grime to Russia and she produced the first grime/dubstep song in Russian

language. She had also been extensively performing around the UK, including jungle

raves and London Peace Concert on Trafalgar Square in 2007, World Sickle Cell Day

2012 in Wolverhampton in West Park.

Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, Bob Marly, Pharrell and Chase and Status

are a few artist she is inspired by. Current artist that she would love to work with include

Timbaland, Prince, Will I Am, Eminem to Justin Timberlake and Madonna.

Her last EP "The Edge of Love" is out along with the music video's "The Edge of

Love", "Desert", "Poison", and "One Day" all directed by Kevin Hudson. Her current EP

“I Am Free” was recently released and she is now working on her upcoming album and

collaborating with other artist on their projects.

She has performed several shows with multi platinum UK band Kasabian, one of them

was on MTV on Soundchain with Zane Lowe, on the main stage Pyramid at Glastonbury

Festival, which has been broadcast on BBC and millions tuned in for, another being the

historic show at Victoria Park in Leicester called "Summer Solstice" with 50,000 people

attending. The show was filmed and screened at cinemas and will be released on DVD

soon. The sultry songstress also headlined Baltic Summer Festival.

Ms. Sebastian has been a muse to upscale fashion designers such as Khloe Nova and

Anar London. She was recently booked to walk the runway at the exclusive and private

members club Morton for London designer Khloe Nova, a luxury collection for men and

women.

Ms. Sebastian has previously worked with Khloe Nova for London's fashion week back

in September where she strutted on the catwalk modeling a bubble gum pink, cut out

gown, accessorized with an onyx black, art deco necklace and black sunglasses with

rhinestones. She was a hit on the runway, photographers couldn't get enough of her

beauty and clicked away, taking many shots of her. The fashion show took place at Roof

Gardens and was produced by well established event promoter Duccio Zambrini. She was

also booked for SKY TV 805 Venus TV show in November 2015 as well as gracing the

runway for the Venus TV 10th Anniversary for designer Tehxeeb

London and jewelry designer Nishel Creations, with makeup and hair provided

by KSAVI.
