Jesse Barrera is a 28 year old producer / songwriter from San Diego, CA.

“I TOLD MYSELF IN HIGH-SCHOOL THAT I COULDN’T SEE MYSELF DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN MUSIC."
"...And here I am today. After 7 years of touring and playing in the rock band My American Heart, I found a love for creating records.”

Barrera, former guitarist of the band “My American Heart” recorded 2 full length records with the band. “The Meaning In Makeup” produced by Sal Villanueva (Taking Back Sunday, Thursday) and mixed by Matt Squire – (Katy Perry, 3oh3!) and the second album “Hiding Inside The Horrible Weather”, produced by James Paul Wisner, gained plenty of success in the underground rock scene.

“Whenever we were making records, I was always that annoying kid that never left the control room. That kid who always sat behind the producer and engineers, wide-eyed. I was just fascinated with the art of recording. Lots of people don’t realize how DIFFERENT it is from playing live. Making records is a snapshot of your life in musical form. Once it’s pressed – that’s it. You will remember it forever. Where you were, how it felt. There’s something so exhilarating about that to me and I live for it now”.

Barrera continues to find ways to jump around musical genres without fear. From ROCK to R&B, ACOUSTIC to HIP HOP, INDIE to COUNTRY. He has begun to develop a sound of his own in production which lies within all styles.

“AT THE END OF THE DAY – I’M A MUSIC LOVER. DON’T CARE WHAT IT IS. IF IT’S GOOD, THEN IT’S GOOD.”
Barrera says. “Lot’s of people are always like– Yeah, I like everything except for country” – And I think they’re crazy! I just want to dip my hands into all of it, embrace it all. And at the end of the day – like I said – music is forever and making records is an art form of who you are creatively at that point in time. I’m glad I’ve got a few amazing records under my belt – I want to capture those moments until I can’t hear anymore.”

THE JB CAVE is a studio in San Diego, California. Presenting their artists and clients with a comfortable environment to make records and be creative. Barrera and his team have a knack for finding talent and shaping their music to be exceptional on record.

”MANY ARTISTS COME IN THE STUDIO WITH A SONG ON VOCALS AND GUITAR, OR PIANO. IT’S OUR JOB TO MAKE THEIR DREAM AND VISION A REALITY. WHAT WE DO IS NOT TRY AND CHANGE AN ARTIST OR GROUP. WE STRIVE TO BRING OUT THE POTENTIAL IN THEIR MUSIC AND HELP THEM CAPTURE THEIR BEST PERFORMANCE.”

My name is Julie Anne, I'm 17 years old. I love to perform in front of the people. Singing is my passion, it's one thing I think I can't live without. I do my own version of the songs I like to cover (well it depends on my mood). I really focus on what I do. Most of the time, I arrange vocals / harmonies &amp; sometimes I do my own instrumentals.

Thanks so much for all the people who keep on supporting me, believing in me. I just really hope I could always live up with all your expectations. I appreciate everything you do. You always rock my world. Spread the love!
Many thanks &amp; I love y'all!

MYMP (short for Make Your Momma Proud) is out to touch your hearts again with their brand of musicality and performance. 

Jacques "Chin" Alcantara, former Claretian, founded the band back in late 1996. It was Chin's elder brother, Julius, who gave the band its name --- a tribute to their departed mother. Chin's mother, Dr. Stella Lopez-Alcantara (a cardiologist), had died of complications from breast cancer when he was 17.

Back when it was originally formed, Make Your Momma Proud was a four-man rock band, whose arsenal included Jimi Hendrix, The Doors and, as Alcantara adds, a little Mr. Big. He was still a student at Miriam College then, taking up Communication Arts, major in Advertising. “My mom played the piano but she didn’t get to see me play professionally—she did get to see me start out,” Alcantara said. In the year after his mother died, Alcantara took up the guitar and, in his words, “really got obsessed with it and that’s when I knew what I wanted to be, a musician.” Alcantara was enjoined by his father (an investment and a private development banker) to attend classical guitar tutoring, but stopped after a month. Alcantara taught himself how to play.

The peak of MYMP's amateur days was when it won the 1996 national championship of the San Miguel Beer Battle of (rock) Bands. Before that, the group had won the NCR championship, best vocalist and best lead-guitarist awards.

As a college band, MYMP appeared in college fairs and shows, but as they became more earnest in their intent to pursue music as a career, they encountered difficulty in lining up gigs due to their "disciplined rock" repertoire. MYMP added a keyboardist and began working on a more pop sound, completing the transformation with the addition of a female vocalist in 2000, Marifil Niña Girado, known then as the R&B singer [and later as Nina--the Soul Siren}] after leaving the band to go solo. MYMP then industriously performed in bars, clubs and shows for years, building an identity.

In 2001, Alcantara handed an audition for a new female lead, and the group found Julie Iris "Juris" Fernandez. Originally from Davao, Fernandez explains she didn’t grow up exposed to music on a regular basis. Like Alcantara, Fernandez did not study music formally for long, eschewing the training to learn on her own. After graduating from Miriam, Fernandez was studying at the Ateneo, working towards completing her pre-med requirements when she decided that, like Alcantara, she wanted to immerse herself in music. After singing with Jimmy Bondoc, she fatefully auditioned for MYMP.

In the last quarter of 2018, MYMP management held a grand audition for a new female vocalist. And after almost a year, with numerous applicants, and a number of potentials, they chose Carmella Ravanilla from Taytay Rizal. Carmella, also a Miriam graduate, is a former contender in a popular reality singing contest, bested 10 other hopefuls for the coveted lead vocalist spot. 2018 also marked the year when MYMP returned to its original label, Ivory Music. And they released a new original song single "WISHES AND DREAMS" after almost 6 years. The band is under the management of Maria Teresa Alcantara.
