Jona on her career in showbiz
JONA – After signing a contract with Viva Artists Agency (VAA), the singer said that she wants to venture into acting again.
The singer said in an interview with the Philippine Star that she wants to jumpstart her acting projects through the musical genre. According to her, she feels more comfortable with the music aspect of it.
“So that, at least, I won’t get culture shock because it’s been a while since my last acting stint and I haven’t constantly done acting workshops. So parang ayaw ko muna… ayoko sobrang mahirapan. That’s it for now,” she said.
The singer’s first acting stint was in QTV’s “My Guardian Abby” in 2005 and followed by GMA Network’s drama series “I Luv NY” in 2006. Her last acting assignment was with Glaiza de Castro in “Cattleya: An OFW Story” in 2014.
In the meantime, the singer is thankful and excited for the possible opportunities awaiting her at Viva. The singer remains a Kapamilya as a performer at ABS-CBN’s “ASAP Natin ‘To” but she’s now co-managed by Viva.
According to a report on the Philippine Star, she said she wants to explore new tunes that will be incorporated in her new single or album so she could reach new crowd, aside from her supporters who have been loyal to her.
The singer said in a press conference at Viva office that singing is what she has been doing for 18 years. She also said that she wants to venture into acting again. According to her, she felt that her interest to express herself through acting has returned and also hoped to produce and write more original songs at the same time.
She also said that when it comes to the digital aspect, she wants to become more active and more open in terms of her personal life, especially to her fans who have been craving for what she’s doing during her downtime or while she’s not singing and performing on stage.
