Hold On, I'm Comin' (Live)
J.E. Lopez
NEW SINGLE OUT NOW!
Bio
J.E. Lopez is a Filipino-Canadian guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter who brings serious fire to the stage. His live shows sizzle with the raw energy of blues-rock, the deep pocket of old-school funk and soul, and the smooth edge of modern R&B—all tied together by a feel that’s unmistakably his.
Based in Toronto, Lopez draws from the city’s rich mix of cultures and sounds, shaping a style that’s as vibrant and layered as the streets he walks. His music isn’t just about genre—it’s about groove, emotion, and a connection you can feel in your chest.
His influences run deep: think Clapton’s conversational finesse, SRV's visceral abandon, Robert Cray’s elegant intensity, and the soulful sensuality of Ray Charles - all brought together in a sound that simmers with tension and softens into soul. Whether he’s tearing through a solo or whispering a melody that lingers like a memory, Lopez plays with the kind of presence that commands attention and leaves an imprint.
