Jade Valerie Villalon (born August 12, 1980), also known by her project and stage name Jade Valerie, is an American pop singer,^[1] songwriter,^[1] and actress.^[1][2] From 1999 to 2007, she was the vocalist and lyricist of Sweetbox, releasing five original albums and a number of compilations.^[1] During this time, each major release achieved either a gold or platinum status in Japan and Korea, also earning various awards and chart positions around the world.^[1][3]

Following Villalon's departure from this project, both Villalon and Sweetbox composer and producer Rosan Geoman worked together once again to release albums under Villalon's own name, Jade Valerie.^[1] After two album releases under this name, two additional side-projects were formed entitled Eternity ∞ and Saint Vox, both releasing a self-titled album. Saint Vox presented a collaboration effort between Villalon's vocal and lyrical work, Geoman's arrangements of both original and sampled classical pieces, and the stylings of Japanese violinist, Emiri Miyamoto.^[4]
