Singer-songwriter, host, and content creator Jazper Tiongson reflects on the different chapters of love, self-discovery, and new beginnings in his debut extended play (EP), “Mga Kabanata,” released under Star Music.
Describing the project as one of his most personal yet, Jazper shared, “This album is the most honest I’ve ever been. I’ve spent years living these stories before finally writing and recording them. Every track represents a different season of my life, and I hope listeners find pieces of their own journey in them.”
Leading the six-track release is “Binabaliw,” a soaring pop anthem that captures the intoxicating feeling of being completely consumed by love. The EP also features “Tunay na Ikaw,” “Patinig-Ibig,” “Deck,” “Anamat,” and “Bahaghari,” all written by Jazper and produced by Adonis Tabanda.
Before pursuing a career in entertainment, Jazper worked in the corporate advertising industry. His journey took a different direction after a hosting opportunity led him to meet Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, whose encouragement became the turning point that inspired him to pursue hosting and music full-time.
“I always had that aching for my passion which is hosting and music but I never had the confidence to do it. Back then, I was hosting a show where I met Pia Wurtzbach and that time I was looking for a sign if I should do this full time. After the show, I got a message from her and she told me that she believes in my potential and that I should take risks and pursue my passion. That was the sign I was waiting for, and from that moment, I never looked back,” he recalled.
Since then, Jazper has become a regular host for ABS-CBN’s “It’s Showtime” and has appeared on various Kapamilya shows. With “Mga Kabanata,” he hopes to connect with listeners through honest songwriting and relatable stories of love and growth.
