Led by vocalist Wency Cornejo, they produced such hits as “Habang May Buhay” (While There’s Life), “Next in Line“, “Ulan” and “Mangarap Ka” (Dream).

When the band disbanded in 2011, Wency Cornejo pursued a solo career and went on to record chart-topping songs himself, such as “Magpakailanman“, the theme song of the TV drama series of the same name of his mom, Mel Tiangco and the monster hit, “Hanggang“.  In 2004, he won as Artist of the Year in the NU Awards.  Since then, Wency has based himself in Davao City and is still in demand in concerts here and abroad.

Now, for all his fans out there in SoCCSkSarGen, the good news is, Wency Cornejo will be performing on Mother’s Day here in General Santos City, May 10, 2015, a Sunday.
