It all started in 1998 when [[Gosh Dilay]] and Yael Yuzon spotted each other in [[Ateneo de Manila University#High School|Ateneo High School]] and met through the theater club, Teatro Baguntao. Yuzon was the front man of a rock band named White Chapel at that time. However, since he and Gosh Dilay met, he always felt the urge to form a new band with Dilay and two other members of the group. That was then they form a band and call it “Sponge”, named after R. S. Surtee’s Mr. Sponge’s Sporting Tour. However, soon after they formed Sponge, they learned about a [[Detroit, Michigan|Detroit]] [[grunge]] band already is using the name [[Sponge (band)|Sponge]], that’s why they all agree to add “cola” in result of “Sponge Cola.” It gives their band name more semblances. This paved Yuzon’s way to fame and the popularity of the band, as they competed and won several recognitions.

After a few years, Yuzon and Gosh Dilay remained in the band while the two other members leave and were replaced by [[Chris Cantada|Christopher "Chris" Cantada]] and [[Erwin Armovit|Erwin "Armo" Armovit]]. Armovit was a former guitarist of the band Rampqueen, considered the sister band of Sponge Cola. Yuzon’s career started early, though. His fame being the lead rock vocalist of the band has earned him many credits and awards as well. He and his band mates came up with a self-titled EP in the last quarter of 2003. This is enclosed with five original songs namely, “Saturn,” “Cigarette,” “Jeepney,” “Lunes,” and “A Tear.” These extensive songs have opened Yuzon’s ability to adjust his vocal range to shift from mellow to scream o tone without losing its touch. With their self-titled EP, he was able to get more shows, exposures, and concerts from all over the country.
