Jade Villalon

Jade Valerie Villalon (born August 12, 1980), also known by her project and stage name Jade Valerie, is an American and European pop singer, songwriter, and actress. From 1999 to 2007, she was the vocalist and lyricist of the Roberto "Geo" Rosan-produced "pop-meets-classical" project, 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 Korea, also earning various awards and chart positions around the world.

Following both Villalon and Rosan's departure from this project, the pair 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 respectively. 'Saint Vox' presented a collaboration effort between Villalon's vocal and lyrical work, "Geo"'s arrangements of both original and sampled classical pieces, and the stylings of Japanese violinist, Emiri Miyamoto.
