JONA WANTS TO RESUME ACTING CAREER
The Philippine Star
|January 09, 2024
Apart from belting out high notes, Jona wants to act on screen again now that she recently signed with Viva Artists Agency (VAA).
“Aside from singing that I’ve been doing for 18 years, I want to venture again into acting,” she stated during a presscon and contract signing at Viva office.
She felt that her interest to express herself through acting has returned and hoped to produce and write more original songs at the same time.
“Hopefully, when it comes to the digital aspect, I want to become more active and more open in terms of my personal life, especially to my fans who have been craving kung ano pong ginagawa ni Jona during my downtime or while not singing and performing on stage. Those are the things that I look forward to and of course, becoming more active again in the concert scene,” she added.
Jona told The STAR that she wants to jumpstart her acting projects through the musical genre because she feels more comfortable with the music aspect of it. “So that, at least, I won’t get culture shock because it’s been a while since my last acting stint and I haven’t constantly done acting workshops. So parang ayaw ko muna… ayoko sobrang mahirapan. That’s it for now.”
