This is an effort to break the complacency of conformity. The answers to that which puzzles us all lay in the depthness of the questions we ask others. Out of the mystery that is our subconscious mind, from the unknown of our deepest sentiments emerge the elusive stardust sought by those that cradle their notions of why we even exist.
Philosophy
Music, in its purest form, speaks to the soul. It is the motivation of physical movement, touching us beyond the surface of our personalities. The power of words through song transcend generations because they speak of human issues that affects us in our lives. Messages that are relevant to our spirit are relevant to any time period and contribute meaningful knowledge to its future generations.
Purpose
The songs composed and performed by The JV Myka Project are more than merely beats, riffs, and melodies. Though it may appear to be delicious, yet rebellious, in truth, there is more beyond the surface of style and brazen assertions.
Story
When I was 18, a voice spoke to me in a dream. It said, “go and find Micah and become…” The dream was so vivid and the voice so real, I looked for Micah and found it in the Bible. I read it and found it very compelling, so I changed my name to JV Myka. Years later, a second dream with the same voice said to me, “some of the answers you seek are in Isaiah.” In the process, I discovered Micah was part of a group referred to as “The Twelve Minor Prophets.” Another of that group was named Hosea, which translated is “Joseph,” which in Spanish is Jose. So, I changed my name to Josea. Hosea is considered the last great prophet of the Kingdom of Israel and the first of the Minor Prophets. His life and marriage to a woman who eventually became a prostitute is a metaphor for God’s perspective of His relationship with mankind. Interesting, to say the least.
The Continuation...
"V" stands for Vladamin. It is the name of the living prophet who has come to this world with a message. As said in the song Brash Aim, "Where do we go from here, my Lord? I feel you want to speak through me..."
