Biografie

Joyo Velarde is a Filipino hip hop and soul singer.

Originally from Manila, Joyo Velarde studied Opera in Rome before returning to the San Francisco Bay Area where she attended UC Davis in northern California. While planning to be a news anchor, it was at Davis that she met up with her now husband, Lyrics Born. The two have recorded music ever since, starting with the hit song, „Balcony Beach“, which appeared on the debut Latyrx album.

Joyo continued to make music with Lyrics Born and toured with him regularly as well as fellow Quannum Projects artists Blackalicious. In 2002 she recorded her first solo single, „Sweet Angels“, which was a hit for the young singer as well as the Quannum label.
She has gone on to become a staple for Lyrics Born albums. She is featured on the songs „Love Me So Bad“, „Over You“, „I Can’t Wait For Your Love“, and „Differences“. Her strong and soulful voice has become a staple of Lyrics Born live shows as well.
Joyo’s debut album, „Love and Understanding“ is set for release in November 2009. The album will feature songs produced by top producers such as Jake One, Jumbo (from Lifesavas), RJD2, Lyrics Born and others. Described as a mix of soul, funk, hip-hop and jazz, the album is sure to please fans of all genres.

Joyo Velarde’s sweet and soulful singing style stems from her classical training in Italy where she was pursuing her Master’s in Opera before dropping out because of being „bored to tears“.
