Cup of Joe

Formed in November 2018 by friends from Saint Louis University Laboratory High School in Baguio, Filipino pop-rock band Cup of Joe began as a casual act performing covers at local events. The group—comprising vocalists Gian Bernardino and Raphaell Ridao, guitarists Gabriel and CJ Fernandez, keyboardist Xen Gareza, and until 2024, bassist Raphael Severino—soon gained attention with their original music. Their 2019 breakout single “Nag-iisang Muli” earned them MOR Awards recognition, followed by hits like “Alas Dose” and “Ikaw Pa Rin Ang Pipiliin Ko.” In 2022, they solidified their following with “Mananatili” and “Estranghero.” The band’s rise peaked in 2023 with the EP Patutunguhan, which featured the Billboard-charting track “Tingin” featuring Janine Teñoso. In 2024, Cup of Joe headlined their first solo concert, participated in major events like the Aurora Music Festival, and released a viral video for “Misteryoso.” They followed up with their first studio album Silakbo in January 2025, which included the single “Multo”—a track that later entered the Billboard Global 200.
