THE STUDIO: Over the years I’ve had the pleasure to work with many amazing musicians and producers! Here is a list of some of the wonderful musicians who have helped me on my journey:
PETER ALLEN: Composer
He did Children are the Healers of the World and Dream of a Kinder World, amongst others, Thank you, Peter!
PETER ALLEN: Peter Allen and I first met in Winnipeg around the year 1990. He came in to get a haircut when I was working at the hair salon in Winnipeg. When we talked we discovered that we both were musicians. Peter offered to help me with recording my music. Today, Peter Allen is a world-class famous composer and has done the music for hundreds and hundreds of films! Back in Winnipeg, his studio had humble beginnings with a reel to reel and a microphone. His studio today is high-tech, modern and capable of creating top-quality music for film, television and other projects.
COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW CD : OLAV RIXEN
OLAV RIXEN: Olav was the producer for my Children’s Album, ‘COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW’ Released in 1997… He brought in so many talented musicians to record and play on the songs I had written in my kitchen, all inspired by my beautiful son, Aidan! Thank you, Olav!
JULIE BLUE: Pianist, Composer, Singer-Songwriter
I joined Julie Blue’s special choir in Vancouver back in the nineties. She inspired me so much. And she had several albums out of her original piano music. I would listen and listen to her music day after day, such beautiful, uplifting music!
Then one day as I was listening WORDS STARTED TO COME out to fit the music! There are quite a few of my recordings that have her piano pieces as an accompaniment to one of my songs. Julie was quite impressed and allowed me to use her music to record the words and send them out to the world.
Songs that include Julie Blue’s most magnificent piano creations include: CHILDREN ARE THE HEALERS OF THE WORLD – BEAUTIFUL – COME DANCE WITH ME and many more!
BRENT WADE
TOFINO SUNRISE was produced by Brent Wade. He played the instruments and sang background vocals. He was also the guitarist on the 911 Concert. He produced several of Janina’s songs. I have to check through her notes and find the right ones. A very talented musician. With his vocalist wife Glenda Rae, they create music and perform together.
RANDI KALSI – produced DREAM OF A KINDER WORLD with drums pop style. When the pandemic came Janina and I joined an online
Randy Kalsi and writing for sync:
When the pandemic came, Janina and I joined a class on how to create music for film and television. Here we met Randy Kalsi. See full story on FOR THE WORLD page.
OTHER PRODUCERS:
Janina worked with other producers for SUNDAY MORNING RAIN, HIS LOVE IS COLOUR PURPLE, and other songs. I have to research their names and still get more information.
STEVE COLLUM is a most recent producer who is working on her song FALLING INTO THE BLUE. A magnificent song that is nearly done, but only half paid for. Waiting for the time when I can afford to have him finish the song.
Please contact me if you have more information about the producers and musicians Janina worked with. I would like to add all of this to the website!
