Gaudencio A. Sillona III, popularly known as Jay-R, was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He was 2nd year college, taking up Computer Engineering, in Devry University in L.A. when he decided to come here and fulfill his dream... to become a singer.
He was once a part of a group named FI (First Impression). The group consisted of 5 guys namely: Mike Gabriel, Alex Bacani, Jayr Sillona, Jimmy Martinez (who came with Jay-R to Manila) and Owen Amurao. When Mike, Owen and Alex went their separate ways, Jay-R and Jimmy continued the group by adding another talented singer named Kris Cadevida. They would do gigs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Michigan.
Jay-R also belonged to a band that was lead by his Uncle, Robert Sillona. The band was called The Howlers. Being part of his uncle’s band was a huge part in Jay-R’s career... it taught him the ways of the stage!
He is currently signed under Universal Records. His first album, aptly titled ‘Game Face’, has 12 tracks on it, containing 2 original Tagalog songs: “Kaibigan”, written by his sister, Jhing Sillona; and “Bakit Pa Ba?” written by Vehnee Saturno. Most of the other songs on the album are RnB. He writes and produces his own songs. His first single “Design for Love” is a hip-hop/ RnB single that exhibits Jay-R’s amazing talent in singing and dancing.

Jay R Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
girl we've had our ups and downs
but there's one thing I know
to be certain
girl we've really got sweet love
the problems we've over come
make us stronger everyday
as we wake to the morning sun
that I really love you girl
and with you my heart will stay
and there's one thing that I know
can't be taken
CHORUS
we got our love
we got our love
we got this love
it's the only thing that life dreams of
as day slips slowly slowly into night
oh how our youth just fades away
don't you know we'll be
walking hand in hand baby
oh together on life's highway
cause I'll never leave this love
it's the best thing that I've known
I wouldn't pass you up
and you will never be alone
I'm so in love with you
you're the reason why I breath
this is the one thing that I know
can't be taken
CHORUS
it's the only things that life dreams of
I dreamed of true love
it's the only thing life dreams of
then I found you
and there's nothing more I need
cause you're everything I've ever hoped for
I'm so glad that
I found you
you're the one that keeps me going
I'm so in love with you
and with you my heart will stay
