December 1st, 2020 – Singapore – With a little bit of disco, a little bit of funk and a whole lotta soul, JUICYPEAR burst onto the scene with their debut track “Golden Sky” earlier this year. This was followed up by the equally delicious single “Rollercoaster”, which was written during the couple’s wedding planning phase, and then the irresistible record “Caught Up” which is the perfect embodiment of JUICYPEAR’s vibe.
JUICYPEAR’s ability to blend genres and inject their own special funk topped off with Jasmine Mayeda’s striking voice makes them one to watch.
On their music, Jasmine shares, “I hope listeners become fans of the smooth tones which feel like sunset hues to me—you know, just feeling relaxed and good while listening. I hope that when they listen, they feel relief…like everything is gonna be OK.”

The half-Filipino Jasmine and half-Japanese Jacob Mayeda were both born and raised in Southern California, where they met and fell in love. The story of their ultimately serendipitous union has all the makings of a Hallmark movie, filled with heartrending twists, turns, ups and downs, and missed opportunities. The two married in April of 2019 and live happily in South Bay with their rambunctious puppy, Gibson.
The name JUICYPEAR – originally conjured up by Jacob to make Jasmine laugh – is intended to be a play on words. “We’re a pair,” shares Jasmine “A juicy one. Plus, pears have a lot of cool symbolism to them.”
In an unprecedented year filled with so much uncertainty and fear, JUICYPEAR has arrived with style, groove and a truckload of endorphins. Stick around for more tasty music, because this power-packed duo is just getting started. Stream JUICYPEAR’s music here: ffm.to/juicypear-goldensky
