Background: Kai lived in a noisy household with 5 kids, all boys, in a coastal town in the Philippines. He was the middle child. He was born to an American mother and a Spanish-Filipino father. He grew up as a church boy because his mother was a pastora. He was also in the worship team/band and played bass. She was also a eacher at the nearby elementary school. His dad was a politician, and when it was revealed his father was corrupt, his father fled the country and abandoned them. His mother was faced with challenges and uncertainty as she raised all of them herself. She was verbally abusive to them, and would preach sermons on sundays that angered Kai at her hypocrisy. Her mother resulted to having a lot of debts to continue schooling her 5 kids, and she died early due to overworking when he was still in senior year in high school. Kai didn’t cry at her funeral. Their family members gave them money but they lived on their own, their oldest brother was already 19 and was forced to stop his college to work for his siblings. During this time of grief, he resulted to playing the bass his uncle gave him. He wanted to join a band in a school competition but had no one to go to with, and found Van while he was looking for people. Together, they found a vocal and a drummer. That was the moment Kai felt he found his calling—to perform for the world. Since then, him and Van go to different bands as temps and earned money through gigs, surviving from city to city. He didn’t go to college, finding it useless. He often contacted his brothers and helped them financially, but he doesn’t visit home. They earned enough to move countries. When they were in the USA, Kai and Van met Matt as a temp vocalist on a band, convincing and succeeded in asking him to join them. They looked for a drummer through friends and acquaintances, soon finding Zack. Together, they filmed song covers on YouTube, until they suddenly blew up when they released original songs (written by Matt and Van) that they recorded in Zack’s apartment. Soon, calls from major labels came and they accepted it without any hesitation, flying to a different state. The contracts were made and they were now full-time musicians.
