The Band History
M.Y.M.P. (Make Your Momma Proud), is one of the fave acoustic acts in the country today. The band plays smooth soothing renditions, that would surely heighten your appetite for good acoustic music.
M.Y.M.P. had come a long way from a 4 piece all guy rock band to a show band to a trio which opened their doors to having a debut album. They had their biggest break when Raymond Ryan, the station manager of iFM watched their gig and met up with a producer to produce their debut album, Soulful Acoustic which is now a Certified Platinum Record. Ivory records then became their recording company. M.Y.M.P.'s debut album was released on Ivory music and video's 20th anniversary.
M.Y.M.P. did make us fall in love with their debut carrier single "A Little Bit" which bagged the People's Choice "Favorite Song" Award in Awit Awards last 2004. They did let us wait for their rendition of Bob Marley's "Waiting in Vain" to be played over the radio and video channels... More over they had their own version of Sting's "Every Little Thing" and of course who could miss their originals like Miss You and Could Be Wrong.
The trio did click but , MYMP became a duo when one of their members decided to leave the group in February 2004 yet this did not stop them from sharing their honest music. The duo set-up did great and as they enjoy their ride in the Philippine music scene, a new and improved MYMP had emerged, A quartet together with Andrew and John as bassist and kahonista. They surely enhanced the sound of MYMP as they go beyond soulful and acoustic music.
The edge of M.Y.M.P. from others who joined the acoustic movement is their passion to create music, which is audible and high quality and the honesty in every performance. Other than that, they can actually perform solo. Juris with her effortless soprano voice makes it all and Chin on guitars, you'll never ask for anything else except to crave for more from this band.
Two more albums were recently released. Beyond Acoustic which showed their versatility and Versions which showcased their capability. This two 12-track albums were best-sellers not to mention that M.Y.M.P. Versions has recently been declared Certified Gold Record after less than a month.
As the line from the animated motion picture MULAN says " A flower that blooms in diversity is the most beautiful of all". The music of MYMP, a diversity of genre. Juris has the taste for Rn'B and Pop, the likes of Alicia Keys, Destiny's Child, Avril Lavigne, and Patti Austin. While Chin goes for blue-based rock like Eric Clapton's kind of music and Sting.
M.Y.M.P. has turned their world upside down when they decided to choose join the music industry. Juris Fernandez should have been in the medical field following her mother's footsteps after earning a degree in Psychology and Chin Alcantara on Communication Arts while Andrew and John had chosen this path while supporting their families. They truly made their mothers proud even though they did not end up with the dreams of their moms, they still brought pride of being somebody who inspire others to live their dreams.
