Hailing from the creatively-charged suburbian outskirts of Toronto CAN., JP Sunga passes his time crafting, performing and mastering his own twistedly pop-centric tunes. As a reputable songwriter, JP has spent many years writing, collaborating and performing behind a number of artists, including work with Toronto's soul-rebel outfit "The Rice Junkie Collective".
His songwriting catalogue is thick, spanning over a decade long with a range of genres that would even make a radio dial blush. Recognized as one of Canada's top indie artists by the industry supported campaign "KeepMusicComing.com", JP is breaking down walls and defining his own version of the title 'singer-songwriter'. Whether strictly on vocals or accompanying himself on guitar or piano, his distinctive style and overall trademark sound is always apparent.
In a pool of aspiring artists, where many are great versions of others, JP sticks out like a sore thumb sounding like no other but himself. A remarkable and versatile songwriter, a humble vocalist and an intimately intense performer are qualities that make JP an artist to definitely keep your eye on.

Hey :-) So good to hear from you. I'd love for us to get up on stage together sometime soon. I'm in the house band for an open mic at Trane Studio that runs the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month. Let me know and I'll try to get you on the guest list.
OH WOW! Hey JP!!!! Long time no talk indeed! How's you 09 going so far! The bands still doing great. We just got back from a weekend retreat in Fort Frances doing music there and that was an amazing experience. What's new with you?! Again it's great to hear from you! Stay in Touch and God Bless!

That's awesome! yea i watched the vid of your performance, it was AWESOME! great job! Not too much happen over here in the bay...tons of rain though. We've been workin on some new songs, still going strong with our parish. Dyane went away for 6 weeks and is coming back tommorow (that's why we couldn't make it to the competition :P) so that's exciting. Any new projects for you?
