Jehnniel: A Filipina Singer-Songwriter’s Journey through Sound and Spirit
From an early age, music was more than a backdrop for Jehnniel; it was a vital part of her existence. Growing up in a lively family environment, with her grandparents’ home nearby and cousins around, melodies and rhythms danced through her daily life. Her grandfather’s cherished vinyl records and her father’s collection of CDs created an ever-present soundtrack, exposing her to a rich tapestry of musical genres that would later influence her artistic path. For Jehnniel, her pursuit of music transcends mere sound—it's intricately woven with her spiritual journey. She perceives her artistic endeavor as “a tumultuous ride that demands introspection and an honest dialogue with our emotions.” Nature, alongside her close-knit family and friends—her “soul tribe”—serves as her foundation, helping her navigate the complexities and joys of life. She eloquently shares, “Our body is merely a vessel, while our true essence—the soul—defines who we are.” This profound understanding underpins her music, which seeks to connect with listeners on a deeper level, reaching beyond the surface.
The eclectic nature of Jehnniel's musical taste has been pivotal in shaping her artistry. Influenced by a wide array of musicians—from the heartfelt ballads of Brian Hyland’s "Sealed with a Kiss" to the iconic sounds of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and Radiohead—she also draws inspiration from the unique styles of Björk, Alanis Morissette, Jewel, and Coldplay. This rich array of influences manifests in her distinctive sound, where different genres coalesce to create a personal and timeless musical experience. Jehnniel's approach to songwriting is both intuitive and spontaneous. She often begins with a foundational chord progression, letting melodies organically emerge as she plays her guitar and captures her thoughts on her phone. Once a framework is established, she channels her current emotions, allowing her life experiences to inform her lyrics. “I translate the noise into meaningful words,” she explains, embodying the energy she seeks to convey. This process is guided by feeling, ensuring her songs resonate with authenticity and depth.
Describing her sound as Alternative Electronic Indie Pop, Jehnniel's music captures a unique blend of her various influences and emotional intricacies. Her work is “emotionally rich yet soothing and reflective,” creating an inviting atmosphere for listeners to engage in self-reflection and emotional exploration. Her upcoming single, “Blue Skies,” co-written with producer Roberto Panovski, is set to showcase this captivating style. Jehnniel aspires for her music to touch listeners profoundly, evoking the dualities of life’s beauty and challenges—parallels to the natural world. Each composition serves as an emotional odyssey, mirroring her experiences and the lessons she has gathered over time.
For Jehnniel, music is not merely auditory; it is an experience to be felt, cherished, and remembered. In essence, Jehnniel’s artistry is a heartfelt reflection of her spiritual evolution and the diverse influences that have enriched her life. From her childhood surrounded by music to her current foray into indie pop, her sound encapsulates the emotional landscape of life. With her distinctive fusion of styles and a deeply personal songwriting process, Jehnniel is making her mark in the music industry, inviting audiences to engage with their feelings and celebrate the intricate beauty of existence.
