About Me


an intense brew of acoustic alternative soul...
Get ON the infamous "mailing list"! enter your email address below:
Hailing from the creatively-charged suburbian outskirts of Toronto CAN., JP Sunga passes his time crafting, performing and mastering his own twistedly pop-centric tunes. As a reputable songwriter, JP has spent many years writing, collaborating and performing behind a number of artists, including work with Toronto's soul-rebel outfit " The Rice Junkie Collective ".
His songwriting catalogue is thick, spanning over a decade long with a range of genres that would even make a radio dial blush. Recognized as one of Canada's top indie artists by the industry supported campaign " KeepMusicComing.com ", JP is breaking down walls and defining his own version of the title 'singer-songwriter'. Whether strictly on vocals or accompanying himself on guitar or piano, his distinctive style and overall trademark sound is always apparent.
In a pool of aspiring artists, where many are great versions of others, JP sticks out like a sore thumb sounding like no other but himself. A remarkable and versatile songwriter, a humble vocalist and an intimately intense performer are qualities that make JP an artist to definitely keep your eye on.
