BIO: 

My name is Janeen Ferdinand. I am a worship leader, singer, songwriter, voiceover artist, composer and producer. I’ve been singing professionally for over 30 years and mentoring for over ten years.

I teach out of my own professional, state of the art, “really cool” (according to my students) recording studio in southern California. I specialize in singing, vocal tips and training techniques to preserve the longevity and quality of the voice, basic fundamentals of recording in a studio, audition preparation, songwriting, music production and performing.

I currently work with several Emmy Award winning producers in television and film and I’ve previously worked with multi-platinum, Grammy award winning producers Maurice Starr (New Edition and New Kids on the Block), Michael Jonzun, Donnie Wahlberg, Gerald Lee (songwriter for the multiple Grammy award winning singer Patti LaBelle) and Grammy nominated producer / saxophonist Scott Mayo. I’ve toured around the U.S. for many years performing, recording and opening for numerous national acts including multiple Grammy Award winners The Fugees.

I enjoy working with aspiring artists of all ages, helping them to discover and walk in their calling and purpose, inspiring them to help others do the same.

I have numerous client testimonials available on my website and by request.

My current students are landing auditions, excelling in singing, songwriting, vocal recording and courageously performing publicly and I am confident you will too.

My class is faith-based, personalized to your child’s specific needs and open to students of all ages.
