Independent artists Julz Savard and Emmanuelle Vera share this month’s headlining acts, as the two soulful sirens providing sweet background music for the men’s magazine’s love-filled February issue.
Despite being musicians, Eman and Julz are opposites in terms of style and origin. The latter once fronted local pop-punk outfit Save Me Hollywood, while the former started out covering songs on YouTube.

Julz has taken her on-stage persona to heart as a rebel rocker chick. She believes music, particularly rock and roll, is a great avenue for women empowerment.
“The whole [concept] of sex, drugs, and rock and roll still applies today. Maybe not the drugs anymore, but the sex and rock and roll? Hell, yeah. Women shouldn’t feel objectified in the world of music. If anything, we are the sex; we are the drugs; we are the rock and roll,” she said in the feature article.

Eman, on the other hand, is tamer at least only in genre, was just like any other aspiring artist who thought music was a good form of expression. Having accomplished that through a couple of album releases, she is delighted with the countless opportunities fledgling singers have today.
Julz and Eman banner the glossy's February issue filled to the brim with man reads on primal love; getting unemployed; and travel eating, among others.
