The story of Ben&Ben begins with a duo called The Benjamins. The twins Paolo Benjamin Guico and Miguel Benjamin Guico needed session musicians to record their debut EP with in 2016. The brothers called on a handful of instrumentalists they’d worked with over the years. Poch Barretto was brought in to play electric guitar, Agnes Reoma to play bass, Keifer Cabugao to play violin, and Patricia Lasaten to play keyboards. Jam Villanueva came on board for drums and Andrew De Pano and Toni Muñoz filled out the percussion section. The recording went so well that they wanted to bring the full band arrangements to a live show. The live show went well enough to lead to another and another until they made the nine-piece band official.
This band is known for being an intentional, honest, and frankly, quite magical, the folk-pop band has its way of translating heartache, pain, and doubt into a beautiful melody that eases the soul. Armed with an unbelievable talent for immersing their listeners in a wave of emotions through music, and an immense love for what they do, Ben&Ben were destined to be
one of the Philippines’ top musical acts.
