About Jovelle Balani

Jovelle Balani is a Filipino-Canadian singer, songwriter, and performing artist. With her soulful voice and unique style, she has been carving a name for herself in the local and international music scene. She draws inspiration from Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, and Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, to name a few.

On her debut single “Ode to a Lover,” this Winnipeg artist fuses modern pop and jazz to create a relaxed, sitting-in-a-candlelit-bar soundscape. Jovelle aspires to create space for a younger generation to enjoy this kind of music.

She recently took part in Creative Manitoba's Professional Mentorship Program, where she explored jazz and the music business with the help of her mentor, Nadia Douglas. Check her out on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms!

About Rein

Rein is a true crooner that came out of nowhere. The 24-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer has captivated fans from around the world with his soft, powerful vocals and mellow melodies. He never thought of becoming a solo musician until he wrote his first song in the midst of the pandemic.

The Filipino artist blends indie-alternative pop with jazz, bossa nova, R&B, and soul, taking inspiration from artists such as Chet Baker, Laufey, Jesse Barrera, grentperez, Ariana Grande, and Stevie Wonder.
