Eunice and Lyndon Navos are naturally born with “musical instruments” as their parents’ rooted from the Visayan’s inherited Latin culture type of music. These young fellows grew playing instruments instead of toys around their room. With a deep passion in music and chords experimentalists, these kids were playing Beatles’ songs and sing with each other at very young age and found it heartwarming way of growing up. Wilson, Marvin, Eunice and Lyndon are schoolmates with a common passion in music. Marvin serves his talent as a drummer in the church, while Wilson plays guitar with Lyndon and Eunice in school.

Later on, Eunice joined in a choral group that made her introduced with Christopher as one of the members, who is also inclined in music with an intimate influence passion. Both these two kids easily became friends like the harmony puts them together. With the disparity in genre influence and the present era of music in the industry today, Eunice and Christopher were able to identify their music by writing their own songs, creating style as new edge and pure execution with untouched tenderness like a newly born child. After a long while, Christopher was introduced with the rest of the kids to do nothing. Until it crossed his mind to put up a band instead talking the childish things, everyone got so excited about it. They tried to play together as one but nothing it seems leading them to the core of their oneness that made Christopher asked his mentor in music to help them developed and redefine their raw experience. So Eunice, Lyndon, Wilson and Marvin later on, were introduced to Christopher’s mentor musician and composer Joel Tangunan. The guy’s prolificacy in music found them unconventional kids in chords relation like him, undistorted emotion, tamed hearts and free spirits that flies everywhere with a little child inside.
