Entitled "Janine," the 26-year-old artist believes this is the perfect time for her concert because she feels she is in her most comfortable era as a musician.

"I will perform the songs I released before. I began my career in the industry at the age of 17. So my voice was different then, and the way I composed songs. Even the way I sang back then was different when I was starting. So, I will share my music journey from the time I started to where I am now as an artist," said Janine during a media conference for her concert at Viva Cafe in Araneta City recently.

When asked how nervous she was for her first concert, Janine said: "I'm more nervous about the outcome of the whole concert because I'm very hands-on from creative direction to arrangements of songs. I hope he aligns with my vision. But I know I am supported by a fantastic band and director. Knowing that makes me a little relieved."

Janine recalled that she received a text message from Viva Group of Companies Chairman and CEO Vic Del Rosario stating that she would be having a concert.
