British musician, (Faithless, 1 Giant Leap) filmmaker, author, and transformative coach, Jamie Catto, performs songs and reads from his new book, The Old Forest Path – a children's book with evocative illustrations by Kanako Wakabayashi that intertwines themes of music, magic, and liberation.
Jamie Catto is a British musician, filmmaker, author, and workshop leader best known for his innovative fusion of music, spirituality, and personal growth. He was a founding member of the pioneering electronic band Faithless, helping shape its distinctive sound and global success. Catto later co-created 1 Giant Leap, a groundbreaking multimedia project that combined music, spoken word, and global cultural voices to explore themes like unity, consciousness, and human connection. The project featured collaborations with artists and thinkers from around the world, blending diverse musical styles into a powerful narrative. While his later work expanded into filmmaking, writing, and transformational workshops, music has remained at the heart of his creative expression. His workshops often include rhythm, sound, and voice to unlock deeper emotional insight. Jamie Catto’s work continues to blur boundaries between art and inner exploration, using music as a bridge to healing, awareness, and authentic human connection.
The Old Forest Path by Jamie Catto is a beautifully written children’s book that takes young readers on a gentle, magical journey through nature and self-discovery. Set along a winding forest path, the story introduces simple yet profound ideas about emotions, mindfulness, and the beauty of being present. With lyrical, calming language and a warm, nurturing tone, the book offers children a safe and imaginative space to explore their feelings and inner world. Each step through the forest introduces comforting characters and gentle life lessons that encourage kindness, curiosity, and self-acceptance. Jamie Catto, known for his work in music and personal growth, brings a unique sensitivity to this book, creating a peaceful experience ideal for bedtime or quiet moments. The Old Forest Path is more than a story—it’s an invitation for children (and the adults reading with them) to slow down, breathe deeply, and find calm in their own hearts.
