jav3x (pronounced jaah-vecks) is the artist project of Renald Joseph Benedicto—a Toronto-based musician, songwriter, and producer whose sound blends emotional depth with vibrant electronic energy. Starting his musical journey on piano and guitar in his adolescence, he began producing in 2011 and spent over a decade crafting progressive house before evolving into the emotive, melody-driven world of Pop EDM.

​

Since rebranding his sound, jav3x has carved a space for himself with standout moments like official remixes for Mokita’s Sleepwalking and Carla Morrison’s Encontrarme, collectively earning over 1.5 million streams. His collaboration Can’t Forget with GhostDragon and Daye, released on Wave Music's Paradise Music label, landed on Spotify’s Pixel Gardenplaylist—alongside artists like Porter Robinson and Skrillex—marking a breakthrough moment.

​

Following its success, jav3x and Daye teamed up again on Something’s Different, a seamless fusion of electronic production and pop ballad songwriting. He continued his sonic exploration with original tracks Finding Hope and Want Me or Not, both featuring Lexi Scatena, further defining his emotionally rich, euphoric sound.

​

In November 2023, jav3x brought his vision to the stage with his debut live show at Toronto’s Revival Bar and Lounge, supported by live vocalist Lexi Scatena and local DJ Celestial. His debut show at Revival Bar in was a major success, and he was soon invited to perform at the 2024 Toronto Night Market, headlined by Sabai.

​

With more performances and releases on the horizon, jav3x is stepping into a bold new chapter as both a producer and live artist.
