KENYO

About Me

Smooth and composed yet coarse and frenzied, sophisticated yet vulgar, safe but dangerous, familiar but somehow different - this is the kind of music generated by the band KENYO.
KENYO is a crossover act that would appeal to both rock and pop audiences alike with influences ranging from vintage rock, British pop and folk music to the Philippine's own Manila sound and "kundiman" or traditional songs of love.
Members of the band all hail from Bulacan (a province just a few miles north of Manila, Philippines). Kenyo is short for "Bulakenyo," which is what people from Bulacan are called.
Formed in 2008, KENYO's potential was immediately recognized that it was soon signed under major label Universal Records, Philippines. They released a trippy-musical scrapbook of sorts in their first project album called RADIOSURFING that spawned the hit songs "Sana" and "Ayoko Na Sa 'Yo". This project also led the group to a successful tour of the United States, in the state of California, on September of 2008.
KENYO is releasing a new album called MAHARLIKA. This time, the group writes and dishes out original music filled with zest, their own special sound and poetry.
KENYO's affinity towards the sweet sound of the past, pop sensibilities, honest lyricism and edgy musical approach makes the band a thrilling experience on its own.
