Jayke Reyes Launches Self-Titled Debut Album Jayke Reyes

Tweet

Enjoying a wonderful world in the time of meeting one simple girl, singing one of songs in her new album. I really enjoy listening to the smoothness in her voice.  She has made those soaring high notes and i think she is more than capable of carrying a pop tune. Her voice is pure and beautiful.

Fast-rising singer Jayke Reyes launches her self-titled debut album "Jayke Reyes." The album which contains the carrier single Kay Palad Mo (a remake). Perry’s Will, Paano Na Kaya, Sana’y Pakaingatan Mo and We’re All in This Together comes with a minus one.

She shared us that she grew up listening to Broadway songs. Raised in the US, Jayke is a daughter of Filipino immigrant. It had always been Jayke’s dream to pursue a singing career so when the opportunity knocked at her doorstep, she didn’t hesitate to leave Los Angeles and flew all the way to Manila.

Trained by illustrious vocal coach Seth Riggs, the same star-maker behind heavy hitters like the late Michael Jackson, Natalie Cole, Anita Baker, Josh Groban, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder and James Ingram, did commercials and auditioned for shows on Nickelodeon and Disney. Jayke’s musical exposure is quite impressive.

The album’s concept is diverse. There are ballads meant to showcase her ability to hit the high notes and there are R&B dance hits. Jayke wants to be known as a versatile singer who can sing almost anything in her field.

“I think, there should be a mix para hindi magsawa nag tao. That’s why for me, I don’t want all birit. I don’t want people to say that’s the only thing I can do.”

Determined to make it big in the music industry that’s why she is learning hard to speak fluent Tagalog. She is also attending workshops and taking lessons in order to become a better singer.  She shared us that she used to practice reading even children's books.

“I know it will be hard. Success is not easy. But I believe in myself and I think I have good chance of making it. My family and I sacrificed for my dreams, so for my parents especially, I need to really push.”

“As a singer, I really think I give my all. I’m really dedicated. I know I can do anything. I’m really focused.”

Jayke is awesome in the first one,  I loved all of her songs on there. I hope she will make more. ♥

Check on You Tube and listen to her rendition of Kay Palad Mo

Backroom artist Jayke recently represented the country in the Asean Music Festival for the 80th Birthday of Thailand’s Queen Sirikit. The Event was sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of Thailand. The album is being distributed by Ivory Records.

Jayke is also busy with the following mall tour.

When  a friend told me to listen to the song "Dying to Meet You" by a new rock band, I looked for it in the youtube. Just hearing the song from my laptop while working on other site, I liked it, amazing sounds. When I replay it and watched the video, I am shocked that they are young teens,  Filipinos, I thought the voices are from the foreigner band! 

Alternative rock band She’s Only Sixteen has been creating buzz in the local music scene with the release of their self-titled debut EP, which contains four tracks and an acoustic version of their first single Dying To Meet You.

The band, composed of Roberto Sena (lead vocals, guitar), Anjo Silvoza (bass), Andrew Panopio (guitar), and King Puentespina (drums), has been hailed by Status Magazine as one of the most promising local bands of today.
