The Millennium’s Finest band comprises of Ervin Morie (vocals), Ian Mabulac (lead guitar), Eric Navarro (rhythm guitar), Brylle Bariso (bassist), and Roy Sorosoro (drummer).
The word “Millennium” refers to them being millennials or born between 1980 and 2000. An era associated with social media and fast-paced technology.
“We were labeled to represent the ‘millennials’ kung saan kaya rin naman namin tumugtog na ang kasabayan ay mga tito na po namin”, jokingly says Ian. “Makukulit po talaga kami. Para happy happy lang!”
The band was formed in August 2018 when they were invited to perform in a junior high school activity. Their first gig was at the “Indie Music Fest 2019” at Viajeros Food Park in General Trias, Cavite.
“Gusto namin magkaroon ng gigs kaya kumausap kami ng mga productions. Noong una ay medyo mahirap kasi nagsisimula pa lang kami. Pero noong naimbitahan kami ng Indiebeats na tumugtog sa event na ito ay sobra ang tuwa namin. Sobra kaming na excite kasi makakatugtog na kami sa labas. Gig na talaga kasama pa ang ibang artists at mga banda”, recalls Brylle.
“Maaga kami pumunta sa venue sa sobrang excitement. At para mapanood rin lahat ng mga banda kahit na pang last band pa kami na nag-perform.”
“Sobrang solid at saya kasi madami sa mga kaibigan namin ang pumunta at nanood. Inumaga na natapos ang event. Sulit ang pagod dahil nasuklian ng kasiyahan.”
Today, these young men are enjoying a good start with their originals “Ulan” and “1:45 A.M”, already released in Spotify and their YouTube Channel.
Millennium’s Finest advice to other music artists and bands is to continue making music. “Huwag sila tumigil tumugtog. Before ay madalas kami ang last band na magperform. Ang nanunood sa amin ay mga staff na lang ng bar, yung production at organizers. Dati ay bumibyahe pa kami para sa recording at roadtrip talaga hahahaha. Andami namin laging dalang gamit. Mabigat ang gitara at cymbals. Kahit walang bayad basta masaya. Kahit iisa lang ang taong nanunood sa amin ay yung best pa rin ang nilalabas namin. ‘Yung oras at pagod sobrang sulit kapag para sa musika”, says Ian.
The band’s message to Mendira Media: “Sana masuklian ng napakaraming biyaya ang ginagawa ninyo para sa lahat ng mga artists. Sobrang naiinspire po kami on how you empower indie artists. Nandito lang po ang buong Millennium’s Finest para sumuporta lagi sa Mendira.”
Millennium’s Finest band has a solid image of determination, wherein each member has distinct qualities. Even as individuals, they will surely succeed on their own.
