SB19 are a Filipino boy band formed in 2016, consisting of Josh, Justin, Ken, Pablo, and Stell. Pablo, the band's leader, is heavily involved in writing for the group's own material, having released music with dance-pop and, later, hip hop and EDM genres. A recipient of multiple accolades, the boy band have earned two Asia Artist Awards, an Aliw Award, ten Awit Awards, six Myx Music Awards, and eighteen Wish 107.5 Music Awards. Having been named one of the most successful artists in the country, the media has consistently been crediting SB19 for paving the way for P-pop music and has cited them as the "Kings of P-pop".
ShowBT Entertainment, a South Korean talent agency, formed the boy band by handpicking its members from a talent search to undergo training in an effort to draw a new market in the Philippines similar to K-pop. The band's debut single, "Tilaluha", was released independently by their agency in 2018; the single had a weak reception, which led to the group considering disbandment. SB19 achieved mainstream success and a rise in social media following in 2019 after their follow-up single, "Go Up", went viral on YouTube. The boy band signed a recording deal with Sony Music Philippines later that year and released their debut studio album, Get in the Zone, in 2020. Their breakthrough led them to be awarded their first Awit Award for Favorite Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2020 Awit Awards.
SB19 began exploring different genres, starting with the release of their first extended play (EP), Pagsibol, in 2021. The EP spawned singles "What?", "Mapa", and "Bazinga", the latter topping Billboard's Hot Trending Songs for being widely talked-about on Twitter. They became the first Filipino act to be nominated for Top Social Artist at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards. They later released their next single, "WYAT (Where You At)", and embarked on its title world tour in 2022. The group released their second EP, Pagtatag!, in 2023 and embarked on its supporting tour, Pagtatag! World Tour. The EP's lead single, "Gento", became a dance trend and the band's first sales charting single, earning them their first entry to charts in the Philippines and on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales, the latter being a first among Filipino groups. Since their debut, SB19 have amassed over 100 million streams on Spotify, making them among the most streamed Filipino artists on the platform.
Name[edit]
The name, SB19, was made to represent and symbolize the involvement of the Philippines and South Korea in the boy band's formation.[1][2] The letters "S" and "B" were taken from the initialism of the South Korean talent agency, ShowBT Entertainment, which formerly manages the boy band.[1] The number "19" was derived from the difference of country calling codes of South Korea (+82) and the Philippines (+63).[a][2] The boy band added that, acrostically, "SB" can also mean "sound break", which aligns with the group's goal of "breaking into the Philippine and international music scene".[1] The boy band's logo was unveiled in 2019, described as a "fusion of a diamond and windmill", which they associate with the support they received from their fans over time: "[A] diamond shines even in the tiniest of light—our fans are our light. Even if we only receive a little support, we will keep shining. [...] A windmill operates when there is wind. For us, the wind is our fans."[3]
