JURIS

Who would ever thought that a young school girl who hesitantly auditioned in a school band is now making waves in the Philippine music industry. Yes! that is true in the life of Juris, whose real name is Juris Iris Fernandez who started as a vocalist in a school band doing gigs here and there….and now is the talk of the town in the field of music.

Juris, who just recently tied the knot started her singing career as a solo performer with Star Records, having her first album “ Juris: Now Playing” that has already gained the platinum status and was recently awarded in the 24^th Awit Awards as the Album of the Year while her second album “Forevermore” has already reached the gold status. And talking about her 3^rd album, it just amazed her (Juris), where her career is leading her to. She (Juris) will be launching her 3^rd album this year that will be produced by a Singaporean company S2S whom she encountered with in one of her singing engagements in the past, and was captivated by her voice…and the rest I say is history.

This 3^rd album of Juris is an all-English songs that caters not only to the Filpinos, but rather to a wider South East Asian market…making her debut in international scene.

During the bloggers event, she (Juris) was asked how does she handle criticism, she answered ….(paraphrase …mine) "There were times in the life of an artist where he or she is being weighed down by others using the social media, print and other possible means, and for me (Juris), those things may come my way and it actually did came my way, but she inquisitively opted to dwell on good things and not on the bad ones….so as for her not to deviate from the path that God wants me to take." Juris said.
