ON THE RECORD
How did you guys hooked up together?
We've started as four members: Carlo, Aki, Caleb, and me. We presented ourselves to VIVA as four but they said there was something lacking, so with the help of boss Vic and Tita (Aunt) Geleen, Arkin was added, then we performed for VIVA again. Then they said the group was still weak and we looked unconvincing, so they added the twins and Adrian after awhile. We all went through audition.
What can we expect from your live show?
Of course, when it's live, we have to sing the songs live while we're dancing. We'll interact with the audience and they will be guaranteed that their time isn't wasted for coming to our show, really taking this in to account.
How excited are you guys coming out with your debut disc?
We're very excited, we've been waiting for this for a long time. Finally when we were launched in PARTY PILIPINAS, all the hardwork through training have been put to the test.
Can you share your bonding without work?
We watched a movie after rehearsals. Then, sleepover at Tita Cris and Tita Andy's house. We played at the arcades, eating, partying and swimming together.
Since you're starting to build your name in the music scene, how would you want people to know you?
We're the first P-Pop male group of the Philippines.
What other projects do you have in the works?
KIKO:
As of now we have mall tours line-up. And as far as we know, we're included in the PARTY PILIPINAS national tours. Regarding our 2nd album, there's no plans to make one yet. I hope that we would be able to create again and MJ would be able to compose more songs.
What was the toughest thing about putting together your debut album?
The acceptance of our single "You're So Hot" by the people because it sounded like Super Junior's single, "Sorry Sorry", however there are others who like the song because the tune sounded better.
