Junji Delfino

Junji Delfino is a name deeply ensconced in the Malaysian jazz and performing arts circles. Born into a family whose names are synonymous with music in the Philippines, Ms Delfino, developing a passion for jazz at a very young age, has since evolved into a jazz vocalist of commendable stature, developing a sound and a style all her own.

A gifted songwriter, lyricist & composer, Ms Delfino has stamped her mark not just in the world of music but also made a name for herself in the local theatre scene. To date, she has two album credits to her name, with the latest, her first solo album HERE I AM, receiving rave reviews in both the local press and the internationally renowned & respected portal of all things jazz, allaboutjazz.com. The album launch coincided with her maiden concert, carrying the same title, in 2010.

Her theatre and television performances have also not gone unnoticed, earning her the Best Vocal Performer Award at the 9th Boh Cameronian Arts Awards 2012 for her tribute show, Lush Life, which she performed in mid-2011 under her production company, Jazz Works. 

Jazz Works is the workhorse behind the consecutive successes of the ESG Jazz Festival in 2010 and 2011 as well as the first International Jazz Day Jazz Marathon at Mezze Lounge, a well-known jazz club in KL.

Her work history includes stints at well-known hotels and jazz clubs as well as appearances at several jazz festivals, including the maiden launch of the KL International Jazz Festival 2012, plus performances covering Southeast Asia and even as far as San Francisco and Daly City in California.

The years have proven that there is no stopping Junji Delfino in her tracks. She is performing like never before and her star is shining ever so brightly.
