It has been a hectic yet productive time for Jay-R who is actively managing his record label Homeworkz Music, which prides itself with a lot of artists with a very broad musical genre spectrum. The label worked with amazing artists like Q-York, Chelo Aestrid, Kley, Salbakuta and Amber Davis.
He also joined Your Face Sounds Familiar, and after that became a mentor for the Hot Spots for "We Love OPM". He also performs at ASAP. Recently he just finished his successful concert tour in the United States led by him and Kris Lawrence. 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).
Alongside Jay-R and Kris Lawrence, they are also joined by Robin Nievera, Mica Javier, Q-York, Deejay Poblete, Ms Jhing, Julianne Sillona and Supreme of Killa Beez Wutang Clan. Also present to support the tour were world-class boxing champ Nonito Donaire and Concert King Martin Nievera.

Pinoys packed the venues and Jay-R was 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.

Jay-R recalls, “My favorite part of the show was when I was sharing the stage with all the artists while we sang my song with Q-York, “Qrush on You.” The crowd was so hyped up and gamely danced along with us, even on my solo tunes like “Parachute,” and “Follow Me.” And when I did my signature ballad, “Bakit Pa Ba?” it felt so good to hear everyone singing along with me.”
Fans are also treated with their post-concert album signings and meet and greet sessions. And with these moments Jay-R feels more fulfilled about scoring a major triumph for OPM.

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.”
