Biography
= INDIO i =

indio i was formed in 1993 by a group of students in the halls of Ateneo de Manila University. The original members shared a love for Reggae music and the desire to spread it among their fellow students. The name indio i or “indio ako” was chosen by the group to proclaim pride as a Filipino regardless of social status, religious belief, or ancestral heritage.

Through the years the desire to spread their music has moved beyond the school walls, and the band has played for venues throughout the Philippines. Numerous member changes and new musical influences helped to form the band’s music. The result is a blend of different music genres fused together by a solid reggae backbone. A distinct musical sound that can only be described as indio i.

In 1997 the band launched their self titled debut album under Star Records. In the same year, they were nominated for 8 awards at the NU107 Rock Awards including: song of the year, best live act, best album, band of the year, best drummer, best keyboardist, best bassist, and best vocalist. At the 1998 Katha Awards Indio i was named the best reggae band of the year. Their songs “Di Mo Lang Alam,” “S on My Chest,” “Earth to Man,” and “Diwata” can still be heard today over the radio, at bars, on the net, and in fan’s playlists.

In 2002 indio i experienced a resurgence fueled by the internet generation which helped to circulate songs in the album. A few years later in 2005, the song “Sister Sinister” was included by the band in the compilation album Doobie Nights.

In March 2013 the band released a video for the song “Blue Lights” which can be seen on YouTube. The band will also be seen performing the song “Malungkot na Masaya” in a cameo appearance in the upcoming movie “Coming Soon”
