ABOUT THE ARTIST

Grammy nominated artist and producer Janina Serden Sebesky has performed as a solo singer and pianist and as a featured performer with symphony orchestra in concerts such as "Symphonic Sondheim" and "Hope Takes Flight."

Janina was music director for the Emmy nominated children's series "Allegra's Window" on Nickelodeon. She has sung on many radio and television commercials such as G.E., Kraft, Pepsi, and DHL ("What the World Needs Now is Love").

As a child, Janina loved to sing and play the piano. Her interest in nutrition, preventative medicine, and self-exploration began at age 17 and continued with her studies in psychology, human development, and homeopathy. All have led her to focus her energies on music, theater, and other healing works to comfort, inspire, motivate, and entertain. Her CD of original songs about love, hope, and transformation called "Small Inspirations" is a tribute to the ongoing journey of motherhood as well as the inspiration for a one-act play "Small Inspirations and Great Love."

Janina has also written music and lyrics for a new musical "Chick Soup: A Musical Recipe For Friendship" at
www.ChickSoup.com

Songs from "SMALL INSPIRATIONS" and "CHICK SOUP" are featured in a new musical greeting card line at

Janina's narration and vocals can be heard on the CD, "THE VELVETEEN RABBIT: Love Can Make You Real" 2008 GRAMMY nominee BEST MUSICAL ALBUM FOR CHILDREN

Janina is the mother of two daughters and the wife of Tony and GRAMMY Award-winning composer Don Sebesky.
