Do something not because you are good at it but because it makes you happy. It's your music to express. No matter what other people say, never lose the drive to keep singing because eventually things are going to work out.

Ben&Ben (formerly The Benjamins) is a fast-rising folk-pop band formed in 2015 by twin Filipino singer-songwriters, Paolo and Miguel Guico. They launched their debut self-titled EP in December 2016, to a sold-out crowd in Teatrino. “Ride Home”, their first single, debuted at number 1 in Spotify’s Philippines Viral 50 Chart for a week. This was soon followed by their next single, “Leaves”, hitting number 3 on Philippines Viral 50, and 14 on the Global Viral 50 chart.

They first gained attention at the Philippine Popular Music Festival (PhilPop) 2016, the most prestigious songwriting competition in the country, for their composition, “Tinatangi”. Their song won 2nd runner up and Best Music Video among thousands of entries. Ben&Ben's sound consists of Filipino and Western folk, world, and pop elements seamlessly blended into heartwarming lyrics and melodies. They have since been making waves in the scene, with local and international audiences alike.

Ben&Ben's current lineup consists of Paolo and Miguel Guico, Poch Barretto on electric guitar, Jam Villanueva on drums, Agnes Reoma on bass, Patricia Lasaten on keyboards, Toni Muñoz and Andrew de Pano on percussions and Keifer Cabugao on violin.

Davey Ryan Edward Langit is a singer/songwriter/instrumentalist that kicked off his music career during Pinoy Dream Academy's first season(2006). He honed his singing and songwriting prowess during his stint writing songs like Dinggin, Sikat Ako (PDA Album Vol.2 and 4 respectively), Spending My Life With You, Awit Para Sa Kanya and even Yeng Constantino's hits Cool Off and Time In (from the album Salamat). He then merged with fellow scholars to form the short lived Cebalo band which re-arranged and performed Pinoy Ako for PBB's second season. Davey also wrote songs for the movies Katas Ng Saudi (2007 MMFF- "Sa Aking Pag-Uwi") and Magkaibigan (2008 MMFF- "Kaibigan"). His successive exposure to the gig scene further enhanced his stage play leading to him signing with Viva Records on June 2009--hence the creation of Mad About Acoustic under the supervision of musical genius Sunny Ilacad. Poker Face and Jai Ho are some of the hits re-created, and is now gaining its respective popularity among listeners. 

Today, Davey continuously writes and arranges songs for himself and for other artists as well. He has contributed "You Still Have My Heart" for Princess' Addicted to Acoustic 2, and "The Love Song" for their duet album together with Raffi Quijano. Davey is promoting his songs through mall shows, gigs, guestings and events all across the Metro and the whole country as well.

Davey is the man behind "The Selfie Song" which now has over a million views on youtube and has topped the charts of different radio stations in the country.

"It’d be really nice to keep tabs on this dance rock/electronica/pop rock band because they’ve got something good going on. Watching these boys in action is, shall I say, a hoot and a half."

- Cyrus Fernandez, DIG Radio/PinoyTuner

"It’s difficult to find anyone who doesn’t harbor some affection for Autotelic, especially with their brand of heart-swelling synth pop that sounds comfortably familiar and close to home. Sure, they borrow heavily from bands like Tears For Fears and Pet Shop Boys, but they make it sound every inch and smell, Pinoy—digging more into local sensibilities meant to mirror who they actually are as a person, and how proud they are it."

- Ian Urrutia, Vandals On the Wall 
(http://vandalsonthewall.blogspot.com/)

"In today’s OPM scene, most bands are forgetting how to express their sentiments in our homegrown language. But not Autotelic. In their Tagalog compositions, mild synths blanket a trickling guitar presence that morphs into something different in every song. “Misteryoso,” the band’s popular track, not only presents brilliant instrumentalism but also quirky sentiments that we choose to ignore but feel so deeply about. In a way, Autotelic is writing our tangible-yet-invisible memoirs through their luminous-sounding songs."

“I am not going to go all technical on you and tell you which genre Autotelic fits in best. I just know their tunes are fun to listen to and my feet completely agree hence the uncontrollable tapping. It has that dance-y pop feel but you just know that it’s neither dance nor pop pop. The band’s refreshing sound will take you on an electronic trip, with occasional instrumental bits for pit stops.”

- Yna de Leon, Radio Republic
(http://radiorepublic.ph/autotelic/)

"Looking at various charts I'm seeing major label singles... all the way... should'nt Autotelic be number 1 by now?
