MEMBERS: Kean Cipriano – Lead Vocals Tatsi Jamnague – Rhythm Guitar Alden Acosta – Lead Guitar Lemuel “Squash” Belaro – Drums Aaron Ricafrente – Bass Guitar HISTORY: Passion is what drove this group of young men to form a band and create music that month of July on the year 2005. After not being able to play for quite sometime, Tatsi booked a gig for his band that he hasn’t seen in a while. He immediately called them up and rehearsed for the upcoming gig. Little did they know that on that gig, they would catch the interest of somebody who would soon be their manager. Callalily soon began playing in small productions, and started fronting for major artists. It was then inevitable that the band earned a constantly growing number of supporters, as more people got to watch them perform. Their stint as a front act for rock band 6cyclemind led them to a recording contract with Sony BMG Music Entertainment. By August of 2006, their debut album Destination XYZ was released in the market. MUSIC: Callalily’s music can be categorized under the genre alternative-rock. With a hint of pop injected every now and then in some of their songs, their music is easily appreciated by people, even those who has just witnessed them. Seeing music as a part of their life and an outlet for their emotions from their experiences, Callalily writes songs that they feel speak directly to the audience. CURRENT STATUS: Aside from promoting their singles, going around the country for concerts and bar shows, and taking part in almost every major event in the music industry, Callalily can also be seen as endorsers in promotions of top phone brand Sony Ericsson. Since the release of Destination XYZ – which was certified as a Gold Record last June 2007, Callalily has had four chart-topping singles already. With Stars, Take My Hand, Magbalik, and Pasan. Callalily never fails to stir up the crowd once they set foot on stage and start playing their first few notes. Their fifth single,Sanctuary, is now constantly heard over FM radio stations while its video has been constantly topping the charts of music channel countdowns. In between gigs, Callalily is now on the final stages of producing of their sophomore album which will be out by February 2008.
