Singer and songwriter, Jayda can now add actor to her resume as she will be one of the stars of the upcoming Black Sheep series, Teen Clash. The Wattpad title will also star young stars, Markus Paterson and Aljon Mendoza. The trilogy book series is finally being adapted on-screen at iWantTFC following after the success of another Wattpad novel, He's Into Her.
Based on the book by Ilyn Anne Danganan, the school-set “Teen Clash” will feature Paterson as Jude, Avanzado as Zoe, and Mendoza as Ice. All three actors are excited to bring the characters to life.
“I remember having major writer's block while working on my second album when I first got wind of ‘Teen Clash’ then while shooting something different for RISE. We had the chance to read some of the script and it got me so excited to begin the project,” Paterson shared after Monday's announcement.
While Mendoza had been familiar with the source material before he was given the project as he may have borrowed his sister's copy of the books. He tweeted, "...Who would’ve thought? Grateful and so excited for this.”
Jayda is excited for fans to meet Zoe, “...I am pretty nervous but all the more excited for this new adventure that I’m embarking on with Direk Gino Santos, Aljon and Markus to bring life to this story!” There's not many details yet released regarding its premiere, but stay tuned with us for more info coming soon!

Singer-songwriter Jayda comes out with a new flashy music video for her song, "Toxic." The track that she co-wrote along with her dad, Dingdong Avanzado and produced by Jonathan Manalo talks about the consequences of having a toxic personality. No one likes a toxic person because it just brings the entire mood down.
The lyrics says what goes around, comes around and toxic traits will eventually catch up to you. The music video portrays two very different personas that Jayda plays. One persona, she's a jaded, unapproachable diva while on the other hand the alternative persona is telling her to tone it down as karma is always right around the corner.
There's no room for toxic traits here, let's all treat everyone with kindness then just sing and dance it out!
