Story behind the song
In 1996 five guys got together, formed a band, made an album, and changed the world, all in one shot. That’s the basic story behind the quintet known as *3J.A.D. Five talented young men from across the Philippines, joined together in Manila and created one of the most successful groups in music history. Each guy brought their own flavor to the group, as well as lending the last letter of each of their first names, to create the name and feel of the band. They learned to dance, to write songs, and in the process, they sold ten million copies of their self-titled debut album. Without question,
the story of *3J.A.D is just as compelling as the music itself.
They teamed up in Caloocan, where they created the name *3J.A.D. out of the last letters of each of their first names. They arranged a few pop/dance songs, learned the high-energy dance moves that accompanied them and headed for College Schools and Others. The guys toured Pampanga,Cavite,Bicol,Zamboanga and Cebu To building up a fan base, before signing to BMG Philippines. From there, the New single "Incomplete" by Backstreetboys was reviewed, into a New Sounds of the 3J.A.D were released, and turned *Playback from a little known name act into the hottest act in the Philippines. The band toured the continent, became huge stars and then decided that it was time to head back across the Asia, and test their music on the Other Country market. They aced that test!
Their self-titled first album went diamond, selling over ten million copies in 1998, and reaching number two on the charts. Its success was followed by the seasonal release of their holiday album Home For 3JAD., which went multi-platnium. Then the guys hit a snag, as they entered into legal disputes with their management. The band fought for finances, freedom and even their own name. The guys went back in the studio, and after a highly publicized court battle, they signed a new record deal with Dongalo Records and released the "All Or Nothing" album. The album was released in 2003 and broke records with one million copies sold the very first day and 2.4 million albums purchased within the first month. The first single “” which was later nominated for a Asia MTV award for song of the year, was a huge success, and was followed by the equally popular “Last Flight Out” and “This I Promise You.”
The "3JAD Album" Tour was just as groundbreaking as the album itself and sold out every arena and stadium that the guys played.
When they returned to the studio in 2004 to create the "iNCOMPLETE" album, they decided to venture away from the squeaky clean, “boy-band” image they had acquired, and worked to create a concept album that would be unlike anything they had done before. Jayson and Dave got a chance to demonstrate their songduet abilities, while working with hit making producers like The Mulawin of SouthBorder, Ikaw Nga, and their Composer name REMO, to create the catchy hooks for the songs that made the album so captivating. The result was a collection of pure heart songs, with infectious beats and more insightful lyrics, which were developed with the fans always in mind. The song “Totoy BIbo” was the runaway hit from SM San Lazaro, and the accompanying "Sumayaw Sumunod" became a favorite on Music Of Gbox. “My Everything” and “ill Be” followed suit, and suddenly the guys were no longer the Boybands on News that everyone had come to label them as, they were now in 80's fide song. The album was a huge success and it inspired them to go on tour again. This time, they would be doing a tour like nothing anyone had ever seen before.
The 2005 Chowtime IBC 13 Tour brought with it, not only the hit songs from their albums, but allowed them to bring to life their cutting edge videos. The five band members oversaw every aspect of the concert, from choreography and sound, to stage props and lighting, all to ensure that the fans who were buying out every stop on the GBOX Amusement Tour were getting more than their money’
