A bunch of Baguio students decided to have some fun and release a song. Surprisingly, it became a hit.
The group, made up of co-lead vocalists Raphaell Rida and Gian Bernardino, guitarists CJ and Gab Fernandez, bassist Sevii Severino, and keyboardist Xen Gareza, now named Cup Of Joe, has since signed up with Viva Records.Gian explained it all began when they were in Grade 12. They were just a cover band back then. But as a farewell to their Senior High School days, they decided to write a song and put it out on a digital music platform.
They mine a range of styles, from mellow acoustic pop to retro, and even some ballads that show off their alternative pop side. They've dabbled in a bit of retro-wave and neo-folk too. "Wala po sa amin yung same. Like how we dress, how we express ourselves," he explained."Just be yourself and enjoy it."
These singers from Baguio, aged 20 to 22, hail from different parts of Northern Luzon - Pangasinan, Isabela, and Abra. And here's the interesting bit: they're all studying diverse subjects like Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, Accountancy, Dentistry, and Medical Technology. In their songs, they cover a wide range of feelings. They have touching moments that connect with your heart, and uplifting experiences that might even be a source of release. They express all of this with words that feel familiar and choruses that stick in your head.
