Troy Javelona - NO HEALING WITHOUT HEARTBREAK (EP)

British Filipino singer, songwriter and producer Troy Javelona has released his debut EP, NO HEALING WITHOUT HEARTBREAK, a deeply personal seven track project that charts the emotional journey from loss to recovery.

Recorded between his bedroom studio in Plymouth and sessions in London, the EP blends indie, R&B, soul and jazz influences while retaining the intimate, DIY spirit that has become synonymous with Troy's music. At its heart is focus track SALTWATER, an expansive and uplifting reflection on healing, using the metaphor of the sea to explore moving forward after heartbreak.

The project unfolds across two distinct halves, tracing the aftermath of a breakup before gradually shifting towards acceptance and renewal. Previous singles including DARLING, WHAT'S A GUY GOTTA DO, and DON'T GET MAD each reveal different stages of that process, showcasing Troy's honest songwriting and growing artistic confidence.

Troy's rise has been driven by a fiercely independent approach. His breakout single Go Away, written and produced in his university bedroom, has surpassed 20 million streams, helping build a catalogue that now exceeds 45 million streams worldwide.

Alongside praise from BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 1 Future Artists and Apple Music 1, NO HEALING WITHOUT HEARTBREAK marks a significant step forward for one of the UK's most exciting emerging artists, a project that embraces vulnerability while looking firmly towards brighter days ahead.
