About the artists:

JONAVI was four years old when her passion for the arts prompted her to enroll in Center For Pop Music in the Philippines. Since then she has been actively pursuing music, from studying classical piano for ten years to composing songs of varying genres. This later led to her creative interpretation of Korean pop on YouTube, in which she wrote English lyrics to make Korean music more accessible to English speakers. One particular English cover – G-Dragon’s That XX – garnered over 100,000 views soon after its release. She also has been given the privilege to act in Gilbert & Sullivan plays, sing the anthem at Dallas Baptist University’s athletic games, and be a member of The Recording Academy’s Grammy U community. Having always believed in a unique expression of individualism, Jonavi desires to revive pop music through poetry and artistic design. Without deviating from her Christian roots, she plans to integrate her faith into her music and never hesitates to tackle a challenge – whether it be taking the time to edit an original recording, or deciding when her next snack break should be.

She strives to bring back the authenticity of music, with inspirations such as Lauryn Hill, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and Jessie J.

Over the last 3 years, her musical genre has evolved into a blend of Pop/R&B accentuated with her vocals.
