C-Major7, new band on the block

CEBU, Philippines - C-Major7  is a new band rising. The band is distinct because of its members, which are composed of three guys and three gals. They all share the natural talent and burning passion to compose songs, as well as for singing, and performing music.

Most of them have been writing songs and playing musical instruments for years (already). They are all clean-cut wholesome teenagers who excel in school, and enjoy studying as much as they enjoy creating and arranging songs.

They feel that their natural, inborn talents and taste in music simply complement each other. This makes them believe that they are somehow connected to each other, that God destined them to meet, so that together they can influence the youth and community through music.

They want to use their music to inspire many people using a (genre of) modern pop-rock-classical beat. Likewise, they desire to be good role models for the youth.

C-Major7’s members are Brad, Bobbie, Nico, Ma-an, Gelo, and Marice.

Brad is 18 years old and a second year college student at the UP Conservatory of Music in Diliman. He is the band’s pianist and keyboardist. He has done a lot of musical scorings in many stage plays, including for St. Scholastica’s College Westgrove.
