JEAN SEIZURE: Finding inner strength

Child actor, singer, vlogger, a Krav Maga instructor and stunt performer - local personality Jean Seizure has chalked up an impressive resume. Despite how far she's come in Singapore's entertainment industry, Jean is still in the process of learning how to overcome doubt and let go.

It’s 2023 and Jean Goh, better known as Jean Seizure, is standing in front of a huge billboard on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, Los Angeles – her arms wide open, and a slight smile forming on her face.

The 33-year-old has been named the first-ever South-east Asia Spotify Glow Artist representing all of Asia, and she is etching this punchy image of the pixelated campaign in her memory forever. Her image also concurrently appeared on Times Square’s famous billboard in New York in the same year.

“I met Lelan (songwriter and pop singer) in Los Angeles, who wrote a lot of songs for artistes like Troye Sivan. It was really nice because the trip is for the Glow campaign (a global music programme celebrating and amplifying LGBTQIA+ artists and creators). I watched them talk about their experiences as queer people and artistes. And I thought that was a really good conversation to witness,” she shares.

This was not the first time that Jean has been featured on a famous billboard. In 2022, she became a Spotify Radar Artist, and an Equal ambassador for Singapore and Malaysia, and was featured on New York Times Square’s famous billboard. Following this double appointment, Jean gained the momentum to return to the studio to finally work on an EP album, which she says will ideally feature four to five songs.

Despite these successes, Jean admits to occasionally experiencing episodes of panic attacks and feelings of imposter syndrome, particularly as the production of her EP drew closer. She has also attended a few therapy sessions in order to manage her mental health.
