In 2017, Villalon released a new song under the project name titled "Heartkick" for the compilation album, 'Happy Merry Wedding.'

After a four-year absence since the release of the Saint Vox album, a message from Villalon was posted on her fansite, "Jade Valerie Nation," in January 2015 saying,

In her teen years, Villalon joined the pop–rock band Gemstone, along with well-known actress Christina Vidal and musician Crystal Grant. Although no album was released for commercial sale, some of the tracks made during this period surfaced on compilations by Villalon in her later music project, Sweetbox.

In 2010, Villalon stated that she was working on a project entitled Saint Vox, a collaboration between herself and the violinist Emiri Miyamoto. The self-titled album, Saint Vox, was released November 25, 2010. The album featured the sampling of six famous Japanese and Korean compositions, and six songs featuring original compositions by long-time producer, "Geo". The first single, entitled "Don't Leave Me This Way", debuted on Emiri Miyamoto's radio show on October 11, 2010.

After her continuing success, Villalon released information that two new albums were to be expected in 2009, and that The Cheetah Girls had performed a song, on their recent album, that she written for the Disney-produced vocalist team. Later this year, it was announced that Villalon and "Geo" had teamed up with Japanese violinist, Emiri Miyamoto, for a collaboration album entitled 'Saint Vox'. In 2010, it was announced that Villalon and Geo had released a single, once again under the 'Jade Valerie' moniker, and was titled "Don't Tell Me I'm Wrong", featuring the vocals of K-pop vocalist Brian Joo, member of the group Fly To The Sky. Over a year after this release, it was published that Villalon had performed in a duet with The Gypsies, a track that will be released the latter's upcoming album. In 2012, Villalon collaborated with actor Brandon Jones on a song entitled "In The Moment".

In 2009, Villalon and "Geo" confirmed they had started a new project, entitled 'Eternity ∞'. Releasing the self-titled album Eternity ∞ on June 3, 2009, each track sampled a famous classical piece, many using pieces previously used in Sweetbox, such as Canon in D major by Pachelbel and Solveig's Song by Grieg. The album contained singles "I Will," "Love," and "Wonderful World," the latter being featured in a number of Korean television spots. The release was supported by a showcasing event sponsored by Elle Magazine.

In 2007, Villalon, along with her long-time Sweetbox partner, "Geo", left the project name of Sweetbox behind to start work on Villalon's new music project, titled under her own name, 'Jade Valerie'. Later that year, Villalon released the album, Out of the Box, the title being a play on words of the departure from Sweetbox, to critical acclaim. Her 9th album, Bittersweet Symphony, reached positions such as #15 on the Oricon charts. She re-released Out of the Box in Korea, containing some of the tracks from her original album of the same name, as well as many tracks of Bittersweet Symphony.
