The Filipino band, Cup of Joe, was formed by six talented lads from Baguio namely vocalists Edgar Gian Bernardino and Raphaell Ridao, pianist Vixen “Xen” Gareza, lead guitarist Antonio Gabriel “Gab” Fernandez, bassist Raphael “Seve” Severino and rhythm guitarist Clint Joules “CJ” Fernandez and almost all of them came from a family with musical backgrounds.

The band’s unique name, Cup of Joe, is a slang word for a cup of coffee. And just like coffee, they wanted to produce different blends of music for people to listen to, especially when they need that refreshing boost to get through the day.
