Jeri, Jonathan Manalo at Vehnee Saturno
PURING-PURI nina Vehnee Saturno at Jonathan Manalo ang young singer at ka-look-alike ni Matteo Guidicelli na si Jeri.
Naniniwala ang dalawang award-winning musician na malayo ang mararating ni Jeri bilang singer and songwriter dahil bukod sa pagiging talentado ay professional at disiplinado rin ang binata.
Kamakailan lamang ay ni-launch ng Tarsier Records, isa sa mga recording company ng ABS-CBN, si Jeri with his debut single “Gusto Kita” na available na ngayon sa iba’t ibang streaming platforms.
“I feel like this is the first step towards achieving my dream and I’m so happy and excited,” ayon sa 23-year-old singer-composer.
Ang “Gusto Kita” na isinulat at ipinrodyus ni Vehnee Saturno, ay ang napili ng Tarsier Records na maging debut single ni Jeri dahil sigurado raw na maraming makaka-relate na kabataan dito.

“I want it chill and coo. I want listeners to feel the vibe. I want to transport them to that special moment in their life when they were falling in love,” ani Jeri.
At in fairness, bongga rin ang music video nito na napapanood na sa YouTube. Kasama ni Jeri sa MV ang “It’s Showtime” host na si Jackie Gonzaga.
“Gusto Kita” is now widely played in radio, mostly on WishFM 107.5, Energy 106.7, Star FM, and WinFM 91.5. Pinatutugtog na tin ito sa ilang radio station sa Visayas at Mindanao.
“I want to reach out to a lot of people as much as possible. I want them to know who I am and what I have to offer,” ani Jeri na cum laude graduate rin sa Ateneo de Manila University.

Sa naganap na mediacon at launching ng first single ni Jeri ay maraming nagkomento na malaki ang pagkakahawig niya sa husband ni Sarah Geronimo na si Matteo Guidicelli.
Kung gagawa nga raw ng pelikula o teleserye ang aktor at TV host ay kering-keri ni Jeri na gumanap bilang young Matteo.
“I get that a lot, kung saan ako pumupunta. I feel very honored kasi you know naman Matteo, napakagwapo siya. But hopefully naman in the future, I’ll have my own identity,” reaksyon naman ni Jeri na kering-kering sumabak sa pop, swing, jazz, Broadway, R&B and soul.
“I love Original Pilipino Music and I dream that one day, I would be given the chance to collaborate with our hitmakers today,” sey pa ni Jeri na bet na bet maka-collab ang Ben&Ben at si Zack Tabudlo.
Paglalarawan naman ni Vehnee Saturno sa binata, “Jeri has all the good qualities to make him a top singing heartthrob.
“He’s got a good voice, he’s well bred, he’s good looking and very talented and he has great appeal to the fans,” dugtong pa ng veteran songwriter.
