Hello my friend, it's a pleasure
hear about you. Thanks for share with us a little bit of your time!
Hello! Thank you, for supporting me and supporting
Mexican talent! It's my pleasure to know more about you and all your followers.
How have you been?
I've been fine thanks, i'm very happy with the
reaction the audience has had with Sons of Nephilim.
I didn't expect so much love and support from the
audience! We are very thankful.
Who is Jhoana? Please introduce
yourself.
I'm a singer since i was 5 years old and music has
defined my life. Most of the time i'm a cheerful person, but musically i'm a
very committed person.
I consider myself a fighter woman, sensitive, kind,
professional, sweet and very passionate.
I've participated in many school singing competitions,
gradually i met the rock world and later the metal which i felt more
comfortable and identified.
I'm a person full of energy and passion.
In my career i've been in many bands of heavy metal,
power metal, progressive and gothic. But the genre where i feel more
comfortable is alternative metal.
Besides, i've had the honour of singing chorus with
great bands.
How old are you? How does your
career started?
I started when i was a little girl and the first time
i sang in front of an audience, i was 5 years old. It was a mother's day
festival and since that moment i knew that was my real passion. I'm 28 years
old.
Do you have another job besides
the band? Do you study?
Yes indeed, i'm a singer but i'm a commercial manager
too and i've been working at the same company since 7 years ago.
I'm very happy with my job, it's an incredible place
that has gave me the opportunity of get a better version of myself.
This company has allowed me to support my work team
and my heads are incredible people.
Besides I’m taking singing lessons since 3 years ago
with the best teacher of the world! Anna Fiori! And the best friend too.
Which are your musical
influences?
My musical influences are many, i'm a person who enjoy
most of the musical genres and this has allowed me not being a prejudiced
person about other singers. In this way i learn much more!
I enjoy listening pop, rock and a lot of metal. I like
female metal bands like: Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, After Forever, Within
Temptation, ReVamp, Elysion, Epica and Arch Enemy.
Power metal bands like: Stratovarius, Helloween and
Avantasia.
Progressive metal bands like Ayreon, but i enjoy of
listening Muse and Rammstein too! i'm a versatile person.
What are your hobbies?
I like to read since high school, when a teacher
taught me the amazing power of reading and how you can meeting new worlds.
I like drawing but i haven't drawn lately. I like to
make smile people around me and i like to help them to make their dreams come
true.
I sing for any reason and more if Anna is with me,
also i like travelling and walking.
Which is your vocal training and
what is your range?
I'm a proud student of singing lessons DF and my
lowest note is Mi 3 and my highest note is Si5.
What are your favorite singers,
in and out metal genre?
In pop genre i like Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys,
Laura Pausini, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.
In rock genre i remember when i was a teenager that i
was amazed by the voice of Dolores O'Riordan of The cranberries, also i used to
listen to Shirley Manson of Garbage and Gwen Stefani of No Doubt.
In metal genre i have always felt attracted by the
natural voices like: Amanda Somerville, Cristina Scabbia y Sharon Den Adel.
I admire Tarja Turunen, she is a legend in female
metal and also i listen to Floor Jansen, Simon Simons and Anna Fiori, who
always surprise me with her voice.
How did the band Sons of Nephilim
began? What is your proposal? There will be a new album soon?
The band was born from my dreams and my passion with
the music. I was looking for something professional and serious, because for a
long time i was in many bands where the things didn't work out and frustration
appears.
Just when i decide to be professional and spend most
of my time training my voice, i had the fortune of meeting Anna Fiori.
We have a mutual friend. People think she is just a
pose person who pretends supporting Mexican metal, but she is real!
She and her husband supported me when they saw how
hard i worked. They were essential for the creation of the band.
I will never stop being thankful with them! They
guided me and they introduced me to my current label Silent Stream.
Find the members of the band was hard but nowadays i
have an excellent line-up.
The guys are very committed with the band and enjoy
the music, we have fun like children. Rehearsing is very fun.
The band members are: Eol (lead guitar), Sol Invictus
(second guitar), Mr. Sombrero (bass), Charly (drums) and me at vocals.
Sol Invictus and i are professional singers, but Eol
and Mr. Sombrero are good singers too! so you will listen to them in any
concert.
We are starting to record our first EP and we are very
excited about it!
For you, what does it mean the
symphonic metal, gothic metal and power metal? Which one do you prefer?
For me all this genres are branches of the metal and
these have taught me the possibilities and different uses of my voice.
I have sung in each genre and i've enjoyed a lot!.
You can listen all these influences in our songs.
Rock or Metal? Which one do you
prefer?
Both of them! I love both genres.
I'm more involved with the metal scene but i enjoy of
listening a good rock song!.
Would you like to try a heavier
or darker genre? like Heavy metal
Right now i feel very comfortable with alternative
metal.
The sound and the theme of the band is already dark,
but we don't rule out a collaboration with other genre.
Do you write songs? How is this
process?
This is my project so i'm very involved with it! Anna
and Nicolas Dobernack are supporting me as a producer.
The lyrics and themes are 90% mine, but i've asked for
help, at the same time i support people with more experience.
Anna and Fer are those who give me their opinion and help
me with the process.
There will be a new vídeo?
There will! it's a surprise but are not ready to
reveal it yet.
Right now we are focused in the recording of our EP.
What can we expect from Jhoana in
this year 2015?
I hope so! I can tell that i'm giving all of me at the
recording and concerts.
I hope my work and the work of the band can make you
guys feel this project like yours.
I'm still waiting for 2 trips and we hope many
invitations across Mexico or into abroad. One step at the time.
