Jade Villalon
Jade Valerie Villalon (born August 12, 1980), also known by her project and stage name Jade Valerie, is an American pop singer, songwriter, and actress. From 1999 to 2007, she was the vocalist and lyricist of Sweetbox, releasing five original albums and a number of compilations. During this time, each major release achieved either a gold or platinum status in Japan and South Korea, also earning various awards and chart positions around the world.
Following Villalon's departure from this project, both Villalon and Sweetbox composer and producer Rosan Geoman worked together once again to release albums under Villalon's own name, Jade Valerie. After two album releases under this name, two additional side-projects were formed entitled Eternity ∞ and Saint Vox, both releasing a self-titled album. Saint Vox presented a collaboration effort between Villalon's vocal and lyrical work, Geoman's arrangements of both original and sampled classical pieces, and the stylings of Japanese violinist Emiri Miyamoto.
Jade Valerie Villalon was born on August 12, 1980, and was raised in San Diego, California. She currently resides in Houston, Texas.
As a child, Villalon began her career by acting in television commercials and promotional material. Her first full-length acting role was at the age of seven for the Broadway musical Gypsy. Around this time, she was featured in a media advertisement with Michelle Williams. At the age of seventeen, she guest-starred as Melanie, a teenager in a camp for HIV-positive teenagers, in the television program Touched by an Angel (Episode 70: "The Pact"). After gaining recognition for her vocal performance in the episode, she appeared in various music videos for other artists, such as the video TLC's "Unpretty". Villalon also had a small appearance as an extra in the movie Sorority Boys.
In Villalon's career as a vocalist, she has released ten original albums, has been presented with a number of international awards and sales certifications, has had her music featured in a number of commercials and television spots, and has lent her voice to record the vocal songs "Real Emotion" and "1000 Words" on the English version of the video game Final Fantasy X-2. Her albums in Sweetbox have all reached gold or platinum status in Korea, and many of her singles have ranked in the Top 10 on charts in Europe and Asia.
Villalon has also written songs for a number of artists, including The Cheetah Girls, Ayumi Hamasaki, and Ateed, and has had her works covered by artists such as S.H.E and Skye Sweetnam.
In her teens, Villalon began interning as a ghost-writer for Death Row Records, and founded the pop–rock project Gemstone along with Freaky Friday actress Christina Vidal and fellow artist Crystal Grant. Although no album was released for commercial sale, some of the tracks made during this period surfaced on albums and compilations by Villalon in her later music project, Sweetbox.
After Gemstone parted ways, Villalon partnered as a singer and songwriter with producer and songwriter Roberto "Geo" Rosan, for the pop project Sweetbox, and became the project's first multiple-award-winning vocalist. With Sweetbox, many of the project's songs brought attention for being based on famous classical pieces, and others achieved international chart success. She released five original albums under the project, Classified, Jade, Adagio, After the Lights and Addicted, as well as multiple compilations and a live DVD.
