SunKissed Lola is a Filipino rock band formed in Olongapo, Zambales in 2021. The group consists of Dan Ombao (lead vocals, guitar), Alvin Serito (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Laura Lacbain (lead vocals), Danj Quimson (bass guitar), Genson Viloria (drums), and Rodnie Resos (keyboards).

The band gained prominence with the success of their single "Pasilyo", breaking records in Spotify Philippines and Billboard Philippines Songs as one of the most successful OPM songs in the streaming era.[1][2]

History

On July 27, 2019, Dan Ombao finished as the third runner-up on the first season of the reality singing competition Idol Philippines, behind winner Zephanie Dimaranan.[3][4][5] After the show, Ombao pursued a solo career as he continued his music scholarship at University of the Philippines Diliman.[3] On September 19, 2021, Alvin Serito placed third overall on the wildcard round of Wishcovery Originals by Wish 107.5, ranking first for YouTube views.[2][6][7]

2021: Formation

SunKissed Lola was formed on December 13, 2021, while Ombao and Serito were looking for a place around Olongapo City to rehearse for a wedding gig.[3] Ombao inquired to Genson Viloria about available studios around the area where they could practice. Danj Quimson, nephew of Rockstar keyboardist Norman Quimson, lent his studio as Viloria's previous bandmate.[3][8] The quartet jammed on the same day, sharing original songs that led to the band's creation.[3] The band derived their name from a translation of the Tagalog phrase naaninagan ng kalungkutan, combining the English word sunkissed and the Spanish nickname Lola (meaning "sorrow").[8] Serito referenced their logo from the children's book Lola the Lollipop Fairy (2012).[8]

Laura Lacbain, Danj Quimson , and Genson Viloria are already bandmates in Dr. Pocket from 2018-2021 prior to forming Sunkissed Lola. They released 4 songs and one of those songs "Paki Sabi" was rereleased thru Sunkissed Lola.
