King of RnB Jay-R is back in the Philippines after a successful U.S. concert tour headlined by himself and Kris Lawrence featuring promising upstarts from Homeworkz record label.
Dubbed “Original Music Only,” the concert series kicked off at Rancho Del Ray, San Diego, California (June 17), and moved on to Los Angeles’ Colony Theater (June 18); Ichiban, San Francisco (June 24); Sheraton La Guardia, New York (June 25);and Silverton Casino, Las Vegas (July 2).

Playing to packed crowds comprised of fellow Pinoys, Jay-R, accompanied by a live band headed by music director and his uncle Bob Sillona, had everyone singing along and dancing to their unique brand of OPM.

They also got their chance to bond with their U.S-based fans during their post-concert album signings and meet-and-greet shindigs.

Apparently, the U.S. tour is a big leap in Homeworkz’s dream of elevating the Filipino music industry through its creation and marketing of all-original music—a movement he hopes will gain more local support in the years to come.
He says, “I think we scored a major breakthrough, because we were doing something truly original, something fresh and unique, and they love how we are elevating our own by doing something really revolutionary and daring.”

The former “Your Face Sounds Familiar” finalist is still busy with his mentoring chores in “We Love OPM,” as well as his regular appearances in ASAP. When wearing his record producer’s hat, Jay-R is very much hands-on with churning out new material for his ever-expanding roster of artists.
This July, Homeworkz is all set to launch the latest albums of Q-York and new artist Francis Lim.
