Out of the three Jonas brothers, I’d have to say I find Joe the cutest. Yes, those thick eyebrows got me! And because I’m still a teenager at heart I admit I was quite excited upon getting an invite to the meet & greet Joe Jonas for Bench, feels like high school all over again! Oh and of course I had the full consent of my equally dashing husband (sip-sip levels lang :p)
Famous Hollywood singer and actor Joe Jonas joins Philippine retail giant Bench as its newest international endorser. Known best as the lead vocalist of pop-rock phenom the Jonas Brothers, Joe shed his teen heartthrob image and transformed into a mature solo artist late last year with the debut of his album “Fastlife.” The album was inspired by Joe’s increasing interest in club culture, coming of age, pursuing new things, and learning to take risks.

Raymond interviewed a few fans to answer some Joe Jonas trivia, in return they scored Bench GCs!
Joe Jonas fans were exhilarated the moment the celebrity entered the ballroom.
Joe Jonas!
I was only a few feet away, I can almost smell him. LOL
Fans will see a new side of Joe in his solo album which shows a sharp contrast to the music he did with his siblings as a band member of the Jonas Brothers. He took a break from pop-rock rifts and turned to club music – a fusion of Pop, Dance, Hip-Hop, Techno and House. He collaborated with top hit-making producers Danja (Britney Spears, Madonna) and Rob Knox (Leona Lewis, Rihanna) to produce a sound uniquely his. “I wanted to make this album something a club DJ would listen to,” says Jonas. The tracks in the album carry unique sounds that uplift and energize listeners with a fun club vibe. Rhythmic ballads such as “I’m Sorry” and “See No More” are also included–containing dramatic melodies that showcase Joe’s powerful, soaring voice.

Q & A time with Raymond Gutierrez.
Famous for its global quality and stylish clothing Bench has been aligning itself with local and international artists who not only excel in their fields of expertise but are style ambassadors as well. In celebration of its 25th year, Bench’s Ageless 25th anniversary campaign aims to transcend and dissolve all limits, borders, stereotypes and conventions, by collaborating with multi-talented artists from all around the world. Joe Jonas captures the Ageless Bench spirit because of his energy and global talent. Like Bench, he epitomizes the synergy of talent and style. He is a prominent style icon who has caught the eyes of influential designers the world over. Armed with a more mature cut and a bit of sexy scruff Joe is climbing the ranks of Hollywood’s young A-list and is emerging as a sleek man with a sharper edge and sophisticated tastes. A major evidence of his refined style and growing fondness for fashion can be seen during last year’s New York Fashion Week where he sported a sleek suit ensemble by young British designer Simon Spurr, earning him style point praises from designers the world over.
