Born into a family closely tied to music, jikamarie, a musician from Metro Manila, directs herself as a curious writer. A product of the pandemic and isolation, she wrote about her sentiments with fatigue, confusion, and worry about the future, and birthed her debut release produced by her older brother(Ken Ponce), the dreamy R&B track "lutang", which landed them a No. 1 in the Global Viral 50 and Viral 50 Philippines Spotify playlists for 20+ consecutive days. She followed it with songs such as "Kailangan ko ng...", "aking buwan", "KISLAP", "the sun is you", "HALIMAW", and a feature in hip-hop R&B track "Eh Papaano" by JRLDM and pop track "Ayokong Masanay" by Jireh Lim. Freshly starting off 2024, jikamarie graces British act Coldplay's "Music of the Spheres" Tour stage at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on both days. She also released her debut EP titled "L0VER G!RL", embodying the joys and pains of loving someone, whether or not they love you back. She as well prepares for her debut full album, solidifying her R&B-dream-pop fusion painted all over her discography.
