Pas’sion; defined as a strong and dedicated feeling personified by actions. In one word, Passion is the driving force which enables Carlo I. Ricafort to pursue his life long goal of sharing his talent for music. Recognized by his loyal fans as “J-Ricz”, he has developed the skills that embody all successful musicians. Every “J-Ricz” performance ensures quality and his trademark energy, composed of both exuberance and vivacity to guarantee a performance that everyone is sure to enjoy. As a Ballad and R&B artist his talents in music composition, vocal range, acting, and dance technique, differentiate him from other performers. Post-High school graduation, J-Ricz formed a group comprised of four other members, notoriously known in the Bay Area as “Next Phaze”.
In 2003 the group introduced an EP album that redefined the foundation that created the original sounds and style of Next Phaze. Three years later their endless efforts paid off by releasing their first full-length album, Back to the Mic. After 6 years of a life-lasting brotherhood, the legacy of Next Phaze remains constant to their fans. As J-Ricz begins his journey as a soloist he is commended on his contribution to the music community. His strengths lie in the capacity to innovate and encourage those around him. It is clear to see that J-Ricz is full of heart and soul. He is a self-empowered individual that seeks the comfort of music as an outlet in life.
J-Ricz believes, “It’s the passion for music and the drive to inspire others that really matter in the end”.

Making a difference…
Its no secret what and where the economic status of the Philippines is today. In 2007, 65 million Filipinos or 80% of the population are struggling to survive on the equivalent of US$ 2/ day. Majority of children in the Philippines are raised without essential needs for survival; such as food, clothes, and a future outside of economic deficiency. The Philippine is in need. How can we make a difference…
For every CD sold, J-ricz will be donating part of the proceeds to “Shirt the Kids” charity campaign sponsored by www.pnoyapparel.com benefiting the underprivileged children in the Philippines.
Executive Producer Mr. Morio Kuwahara of Inpartmaint Inc. made an exclusive 2 year agreement deal with Introverse Records (under exclusive license from RAS Music Group and LunaCo. Company) artist J-ricz on his first debut album Genesis. A&R International Sho Kamura with Sales & Promotion team Shota Inaba, Masami Shimomura, Shin Osaki, Teru Makabe, and Fumi Umehara have set the date of the album to be released early this year. A new Japanese cover edition design was created by Ryo Sugi for I.D.D. (see below). We would like to congratulate J-ricz on his dedication to music!
