Janna says that she was very self-centered about her career before having a child. Today, however, my own son is the first priority.
Artist Janna has returned to music. The quiet life of a few years has included maternity leave and focus on growing up Noah– son and to make new music.
– The album is currently being worked on. I have a really good feeling about my upcoming album and my new song As long as we live. It’s a really important and personal song for me, Janna rejoices.

Janna says that she had planned to release new music before, but the world situation made her put on the brakes.
– Last spring, when the war broke out, I became depressed for a while and my songwriting suffered. I wondered at the time what importance my pop works have in this world situation, but after the initial shock I realized that right now the most important thing is to bring people comfort and joy through music, says Janna.
At the moment, Janna wants to deepen her core as an artist and interpreter.
– I believe that I am at the beginning of my career, although this is already well behind. This is where Janna 2.0 begins, he continues.

Self-centered work
Janna, 40, reveals that she looks at the artist’s career differently than before. This is influenced by the fact that the child is at the top of the priority list these days. Janna states that artistry is self-centered, so before the addition of a family, thoughts have revolved perhaps a little too much only around one’s own career.
– It’s wonderful that the most important thing in life is somewhere completely different from your career. I feel like I can be a better artist because I have a child and I don’t take myself so seriously.
Janna says that she used to be a perfectionist, but today she knows how to relax and also give responsibility to the work group.

Janna has made one decision regarding her relationship and family life. They do not belong to the public or social media. This decision has been good and right for him.
– Of course, I don’t want to deny that I have a child, because he is everything to me. I’m happy to talk about him, but I still want to protect my child from the public. He can choose whether to be in public or not, Janna states.
– As a child, I didn’t get to decide whether I was in public or not. The parents spoke and through that I was also in the public eye. For example, I don’t show my child’s face on social media. Of course, times were different, publicity was perhaps a little safer, and there was no social media. And this is by no means an accusation against my parents, he continues, referring to his parents The Moors and Sami Hurmerinta.
A traumatic experience
Janna’s child was born prematurely in 2019 during a trip to Paris. Now, after more than three years, Janna says that she got over it, but the traces remained. The occasional pressure on whether the child is developing at the right pace has also felt heavy at times.
– Prematurity was a really heavy and tragic experience. The scars from the miscarriage were so big that I don’t dare to think about another child. It’s such a big trauma, Janna says with tears in her eyes.
– At the same time, I can also be really grateful that Noah is perfectly healthy. They just told me at the clinic that he is perfectly proportioned, and he has caught up with all the growth curves. The guy is three years old and he is taller than many of his peers, Janna continues with a smile.

Janna says that she wants to talk about the topic honestly so that people can get peer support. He himself has received a large amount of support from various groups and from his followers on social media.
– Why should it even be hidden that that was a really shocking experience for me as a mother? That’s also why I’ve talked about it openly, because there are certainly a lot of companions of fate. This is really moving, he says.
Janna laughs when asked if she wants her own child to work in the music industry. As a mother, she is afraid of the brutality of the industry, but of course supports her child if he decides to follow in the same footsteps.
– Noah is already really musical, even frighteningly so! Janna decides.
