He represents the new generation of singer-songwriters—poetic and vulnerable, while effortlessly blending those qualities with a pop sensibility. This agreement marks my first joint signing with peermusic Argentina, and I couldn’t be more excited. Mariana and I bring a shared passion and expertise that will help Jaze achieve his vision, and we are so proud that he and his team have put their trust in us.”

Juan Carlos Iwasaki La Puente, professionally known as Jaze, is a 24-year-old Peruvian artist who took his first steps as a freestyler, winning competitions such as Red Bull Battle of the Gallos Peru and with the professional freestyle league, FMS. In 2019, Jaze began his musical career as a solo artist, releasing several songs until, in 2021, he released Personality 7, his first album, made up of songs composed since his adolescence. His second album, Toy Lokazo, presented an alter ego of the artist, his most irreverent side, with a more electronic, experimental hip-hop sound. Based in Buenos Aires, Jaze gave his first big show at Niceto Club in 2023. His recent performances at the Lollapalooza Festival in Buenos Aires and at Vive Latino 24 ignited the local public and his audience on RRSS, accompanied by his releases: “La Terminal” and “Mil Procedimientos.” Jaze’s latest release, “el vino y el tiempo,” was released on Dec 5. Jaze is managed by DGE (Daniel Grinbank Entertainment).
