For some, it takes a lifetime to find their authentic selves. For Los Angeles-based singer JoLivi, it took a little loss, some good ‘ol fashioned heartbreak, and a newfound sense of confidence to find who she truly is as an artist. “I’ve gone through a lot of difficult things – my grandfather died and I went through a really bad breakup. I got my heart broken over and over, but I kept going back to this relationship and it made me feel things I never felt. It made me think about things on a deeper level. It changed me. It helped me grow as a person and as a writer, so I got my pen and paper out and started writing in a way I’ve never written before,” says JoLivi, who hails from Oahu, Hawaii.

 Through the process joLivi found her true voice. The result is her new EP “Just For You” filled with passionate and personal songs hailing from the darker recesses of her mind and heart. Her first single release “Games” is one such song.

 Grammy nominated Brandon Friesen, who has racked up six Juno Awards, produced her EP. He helped her find the inner soul of her voice in a way that she was able to share her feelings – whether it’s being sexy or reserved or just allowing myself to feel sadness. Her vocal emotion is present throughout her songs.

“Just For You” is available on iTunes.
