nobita
Nobita is a Filipino rock band formed in Valenzuela in 2018. The group consists of Jaeson Felismino (vocals, acoustic guitar), Sam Aquino (lead guitar), Mark Quintero (bass), Richmond Bancolita (keyboards), and Jonathan Agbanlog (drums).
The band is mostly known for their single "Ikaw Lang", breaking records as the most streamed Filipino song on Spotify Philippines in 2022 and as the longest charting song on Billboard Philippines Songs with sixty-three weeks. Their follow-up track "Unang Sayaw" was nominated for Record of the Year at the 35th Awit Awards.
Nobita is attributed as a representative band of the "hugot" sound in contemporary Filipino music, fueled by TikTok trends and relatable lyricism. The departure of drummer Lester Moñegas from the band in 2022 was met with criticism over allegations and discussions on the Philippine presidential election.
