For almost twenty years Janina Serden Sebesky made being a good wife and mother her main priority. She put her love for making music on the back burner, so to speak. And in 2002, she felt it was the right time to start making music again.

Janina has performed as a solo singer and pianist and as a featured artist with symphony orchestra in concerts such as "Symphonic Sondheim" and "Hope Takes Flight". She was music director for the Emmy nominated children's series "Allegra's Window" and has sung on many radio and television commercials such as G.E., Kraft, Pepsi, and DHL ("What the World Needs Now is Love").

Janina's interest in nutrition, preventative medicine, and self-exploration began at age 17 and continued with her studies in psychology, human development and homeopathy.

But Janina believes being a mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend has taught her the most. Through these meaningful connections with others, she has loved and been loved and is happy to express her deep appreciation for it all.

"Small Inspirations", Janina’s CD of original songs about love, hope and transformation, is a tribute to motherhood as well as the inspiration for a one-act play, "Small Inspirations and Great Love". When she was asked to write a play based on her songs, Janina realized the story was right in her kitchen where nurture and nutrition combine to create a special recipe for food, family and togetherness.

Janina has also written music and lyrics for a new musical, “Chick Soup- A Musical Recipe For Friendship”.

Songs from “Small Inspirations” and “Chick Soup” are featured in a new greeting card line at WithaCardandaSong.com.

In 2007, Janina received a GRAMMY nomination (Best Musical Album For Children) for her narration and vocals on the CD, “The Velveteen Rabbit: Love Can Make You Real”.

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

Janina is currently developing a new television series for children (and their parents).
