Roger Alcantara took up Communication Arts (specializing in photography) at the De La Salle University. This is where he met Pepe Manikan and together with Chad Robles and Loubert Vidal eventually formed the progressive metal band Eternal Now.

Roger (known for wearing masks in gigs as a gimmick, thus the Mister Nobody alyas) started playing bass during his 2nd year in high school. His mentor was Berklee College of Music Scholar and Standard Pleasure Model bassist Louis Andre Ochoa. Since then he has played with Lemon Tears and the Sourgrapes (fronted by Moonstar 88’s May Chelle Baay), Wickermoss, and of course Eternal Now. In 2006 Roger became the first Filipino endorser of Aria bass guitars. He has conducted bass clinics to promote the brand and to propagate awareness and interest about the bass and to inform the masses about its limitless potential. He currently endorses Elegee Custom Basses.

Early 2010, Roger also became a session bassist for Barbie Almalbis (alternating with Karel Honasan).

June of 2011, Roger recorded bass tracks for Ebe Dancel’s debut solo album "Dalawang Mukha Ng Pag-Ibig" (under Warner Music Philippines). He is now the touring bassist of Ebe.

He is also 1/2 of Mindscapes --- the acoustic new age duo he formed with Rigil Borromeo.

Besides being the bassist of Ebe Dancel, Mindscapes, Eternal Now, Wickermoss, & Barbie Almalbis, he is also a session musician who has played with Rico Blanco, Noel Cabangon, Johnoy Danao, Bullet Dumas and has recorded for Nicole Asensio, Sarah Caballero, and others.
