A lot has happened since premier PinoySoul band Sinosikat released its debut album three years ago — they have proven to be quite a force in the music industry, wowing audiences both underground and in the mainstream, local and international, young and old. With a string of number one hits, the band has garnered prestigious awards and endorsements.
In 2007, singer Kat Agarrado bagged the NU 107 Rock Awards Vocalist of the Year title, besting other prominent performers such as Bamboo, Mark Abaya of Kjwan, and Ebe Dancel of Sugarfree. It was no stretch then that in last year’s Awit Awards, the band earned three titles: Best World/Alternative Music, Best Jazz Recording, and People’s Choice for Favorite Group, racking up recognition points for their critically acclaimed debut album. Kat also recently won Wave 89.9’s 1st Urban Music Awards’ 2009 Style Icon of the Year title, proving that the band’s cultural stamp goes beyond the boundaries of music.
Sinosikat just released their highly anticipated second album, still under Warner Music Philippines. The new album features 11 tracks, a colorful combination of soul jazz, funk grooves, and arena ready ballads. Sinosikat is exploring different palettes to produce music that is fresh and challenging. They are continuously inspiring the new breed of Filipino musicians with their music and style. People who have listened to their music attest to the great potential this group can achieve.
