Real estate businessman turned singer Jojo Mendrez has signed up with ABS-CBN’s Star Music for an upcoming album. According to Star Music’s creative director Jonathan Manalo, they are already in the process of completing the songs for Mendrez’ album.“Excited kami sa bagong music na ilalabas namin, na aawitin ni Jojo. It’s going to be a combination of cover songs of your well-loved OPM classics, mga original songs na isusulat para sa kanya.”“And actually, meron akong sinusulat na Christmas song for him,” Manalo added. “Siyempre salamat kay Rams (David), trusted partner namin sa Star Music marami siyang talents, na nahawakan namin for ABS-CBN music. And now, he’s managing Mendrez.Mendrez will also release his version of the Timmy Cruz hit &quot;Boy&quot;, but revealed that they are tweaking the title and changing it to ‘Babe’ instead of ‘Boy’. The famous line in the song goes like this: ‘I love you boy, kung alam mo lang… naiinis na ako sa ‘yo…’ and with the changes, the line will now appear to be ‘I love you babe… kung alam mo lang.”In this new chapter of his singing career, Mendrez also changed management. He is now being managed by Rams David of Artist Circle. One of the changes that David imposed is that there will be no more scandals and controversies. He wants to focus on Mendrez’s talent for singing.Before David, Mendrez got into some rumors involving Mark Herras and Rainier Castillo. But Jojo admitted that he and Mark both benefited from those.“Thankful ako kay Mark kasi wala naman nagplano sa lahat. Si Mark, gumanda ang career niya, lumaki ang kita niya in the past few months. Ako naman, napansin. Napag-usapan ako. Tapos sumabay doon ako sa release ng ‘Somewhere in my past’ so positive na rin on my side. May mga bashing akong nareceive but still mas nanaig yung pagmamahal ng mga tao na naka-appreciate ng songs ko.”No actual date yet on his album release under Star Music.

According to Star Music’s creative director Jonathan Manalo, they are in the process of completing the songs for Mendrez’ album.
