Yosha: One Step at a Time

Yosha's music is greatly influenced by The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Ella Fitzgerald among others.

Yosha's songs are greatly influenced by The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Ella Fitzgerald among others.

Quirky and classical, YOSHA is composed of bassist Karel Honasan, pianist Nikko Rivera, drummer Michael Alba and lead vocalist Yosha. Their passions, influences and various backgrounds brought them all together to make their own brand of music. Simply “good music”, their compositions talk about themes ranging from love to mundane things which are spiced up with a jazz and soul flavor. Their music does not discriminate and speaks of having no boundaries or stereotypes. As the band would put it, “Anyone who likes music is an audience.”

The band’s distinct sound and musicality give them that charm and warmth in every performance that’s why their first album, “Baby Steps”, was received with much enthusiasm from fans all over the metro. The album includes all original 10 tracks with their launching single “Natural.”

“Baby Steps” is available at Cafe Mag:net, all Fully Booked outlets or just email penelopechuauy@gmail.com. You can also visit http://yoshagroove.multiply.com/ or http://www.myspace.com/yoshagroove to know more about the band.

Most people who know Camille Co by heart would most definitely agree that she’s got the whole package. While she graduated with honors just this March from the Ateneo de Manila University, Camille’s social life never suffered. Career-wise, fashion has always been part of her life that she has been asked to model for several events recently. This petite young lady takes her numero uno passion up a notch by launching an online clothing boutique with her older sister.

“We decided to name it Coexist because we don’t just live for fashion, we breath fashion,” she says.

Young and hip, Camille is absolutely a breath of fresh air. Check out http://coexistonline.multiply.com/ for the whole collection.
