Our Mission
At JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT, we believe in
creating golden gateways of opportunity for
dedicated Artists to train, work, and perform
overseas alongside extraordinary professionals
who possess talent, class and integrity, as well
as a deep burning desire to help make our world
a better place. This is the charge that all of us
at JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT take seriously.
Our Global Movement
In addition to developing and launching
new productions, our goal is to reignite the
awareness, appreciation, and importance
of why we need Artists in this world.
To achieve this objective, our Artists are
committed to speaking and performing
at schools and communities, as well as
providing exciting internship opportunities
to promising young talent through our
new educational outreach programme,
JAPRA Backstage.
“We are Artists”
(Written by Visionary Founder &
Creative Director Maurita André)
Standing on this stage
with a light
shining down on our face,
feeling, expressing,
bearing our souls in every breath
and in every word we utter in song.
For our doo-whap is spiritual,
the message we bring is lyrical.
It is honest, powerful,
a universal language
that is able to touch, penetrate
even allow lightspeed travel,
to times, places,
moments and memories
once experienced,
or for the first time ever,
are only now being explored.
We are Artists
and music is our medium,
We are Artists.
It is what keeps us breathing.
Our Philosophies
Learn the purpose of our work and what inspires us to do what we do.
Music is art. Therefore it is our aim to
encourage and inspire Artists to stay
true to their art, themselves, and their
inner creativity. It is only in doing so
that an Artist can not only build a
career but also create music, films,
shows, and works that are
timeless and pure.
At JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT, we
believe in the vital importance of
creating outstanding new art and
works for society. This will be
achieved by writing, composing,
producing, publishing and promoting
new albums, films, books, concerts,
stage productions, festivals, and tours.
We also believe in managing the
publishing of all our works, and will
utilise a variety of marketing streams
and promotional initiatives that will
attract, excite and inspire a broad
and diverse consumer market.
At JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT,
we believe in the importance of
establishing creatively conducive
& culturally enriching environments
that will provide various opportunities
for our Artists to collectively create,
rehearse, and perform alongside
a team of internationally
renowned professionals.
To achieve this vision, we believe in
fostering both unity and cultural
diversity by collaborating with a
highly skilled team of artists,
performers, musicians, designers,
technicians, volunteers, and
administrative staff from Bermuda,
Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and
the Americas, to help bring each of
our JAPRA productions to life.
Whilst we value economic growth,
we at JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT also
recognise the value in artistic growth.
As such, we do not attempt to ‘pigeon-
hole’ our artists, writers & composers
into a particular genre and believe in
helping them develop their diversified
talents to reach their full potential.
We also offer positive direction and
advice that balances the desire for
creative freedom with the need
for capital growth.
At JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT,
we believe in the power of live music.
For it is only when an Artist gets to
perform, tour, and directly connect
with a new audience, that they are
truly living. We also believe that the
magic created during each of our
performances will breathe new life
into various communities, as we
spread "Healing with Song"
throughout the world.
Moreover, we also believe in using
word of mouth and the pioneering
advances in technology to attract art,
film, poetry, theatre & music lovers of
all ages to the original works and
creative movement of JAPRA
ENTERTAINMENT.
At JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT,
we believe in doing our part to help
make the world a better place by
spreading the spirit of unity,
artistry, and musicality around
the world. We also believe in
offering our valued customers
the opportunity to receive instant
access to our latest music, videos,
film shorts, podcast interviews, and
backstage sneak peeks during
our live tours, as we create,
rehearse and perform.
We also believe in collective and
social responsibility. As we tour,
our JAPRA Artists, Musicians, and
Crew will speak and perform at
schools within various communities
to promote the importance of the
arts in both education and society.
In doing so, we will not only develop,
influence, and artists of today, but
also of tomorrow.
At JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT,
we believe in offering student and
senior discount tickets to each of our
live JAPRA performances, as well as
providing top-quality entertainment
for both the hearing and sight-
impaired. Braille programmes will
be available along with expressive
certified Sign Language interpreters
to perform in select shows, will be
listed on our upcoming tour dates.
We also believe in making the brand
of JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT instantly recognisable throughout the world
on a wide variety of eco-friendly
licensed products. We hope that
every purchase you make will be
symbolic of the true satisfaction
you experience, as you take our
products home, spread the word
to all your friends, and raise
awareness of who we are.
