Sebastian Janoski Extraordinary Talent on the Rise

“I truly love to sing, write and play music, if I am able to combine that with acting and my love of the theater, it is just a perfect day!!”                                                                                          Sebastian Janoski

Record Labels, Movies, Singles, Music Videos, National Television, and Radio…..2014 looks to be another successful year for rising star Sebastian Janoski!

I remember the first time I saw Sebastian Janoski. Stumbling upon a YouTube Channel with less than 10 videos and only a handful of subscribers, I see a 12 year old young man sitting at his picnic table in the back yard of his home, belting out a song while accompanying himself acoustically on his guitar. I was blown away!

Nearly two years has passed since then, and for Sebastian Janoski, it’s been like a never ending roller coaster of career milestones that would keep even the most seasoned of performers in awe. His YouTube Channel now sports 89 videos with nearly 45,000 views.

In our last update for Sebastian he had just returned from his 2nd appearance on The “Katie Couric Show” and at that time had no idea the new roads those appearances would take him down.

Sebastian Takes on the Big Screen

That National Television appearance was obviously a success, because not long after that appearance, Sebastian was contacted by Award winning author and filmmaker Kenneth Del Vecchio of JFA Productions and the founder of the annual Hoboken International Film Festival.  Mr. Del Vecchio took notice and reached out to Sebastian through Facebookinviting him to be his personal guest to the 2013 Festival.

Sebastian says of that experience; “It was absolutely amazing to walk the red carpet for the first time! Spending time at that huge event, meeting all the producers, directors and actors was just too exciting!!”

It’s definitely not going to be the last red carpet event Sebastian will be attending, because, not long after that, Mr. DelVecchio offered him a role in his upcoming movie “Rock Story” starring the likes of Academy award nominated actors such as Eric Roberts.

Sebastian on KeyboardWhile it has been less than a year since Sebastian’s introduction to RivenMaster.com, it seems like a lifetime.  Since Sebastian Janoski’s appearance on Americas Got Talent Season 7, his drive and determination to perform and have his music be heard by the masses has gotten even greater.  He of course loves to regularly perform locally for coffee houses, public events, local playhouses….but his drive has taken his act to a National Stage as well.

He has had a performing schedule that would make the most seasoned professional envious!  Almost immediately following the publication of his initial article, Sebastian had the honor of singing the National Anthem at an event for PA Governor Tom Corbett.  Governor Corbett was noticeably blown away with the strength maturity of Sebastian’s big voice!

It has been a whirlwind ride ever since.  Sebastian’s promotional efforts along with the strength and ever-growing following on his YouTube and other WebPages have gained him National Attention with Television shows such as ABC’s “The Katie Couric Show”.  Sebastian was chosen to appear on the show for a special segment entitled “One To Watch”.
