6cyclemind

6cyclemind may have only five members visible on the public when performing but at the rear of public’s eye is a sixth member. The music that 6cyclemind creates is a result of each of the six members ideas combined into one. 6cyclemind is the product of a group of friends longing to play and create music. The band is composed of Rhoneil “Ney” Dimaculangan, Ryan “Rye” Sarmiento, Carlos “Chuck” Isidro, Bobby “Bob” Cañamo and Tito Fortunato “Tutti” Caringal.

Their music is a mixture of alternative rock and pop music or what we call alternative/pop crossover. They write songs assigning positive themes with the hope of alleviating our dilemma in these difficult times. From the time that they appeared into the public, music authorities have tagged the 6CYCLEMIND as The Band To Watch Out For. As their music progressed and reached the sympathy of the Filipino people, 6CYCLEMIND proved to be worthy of attention and certainly, something to watch out for.

HISTORY

The band was formed in 2001 Former members include Gilbert Magat on drums Chuck Isidro is the former guitarist of After Image Ney and Bobby came from the band “Angel in Disguise” Tutti is the lead vocals of the band Protein Shake. 6cyclemind comes from the five members plus their manager, Darwin Hernandez as the 6th person. They all contribute to the composing, arranging and brainstorming, which are a continuous cycle in their creation of music, which is why they call them self 6cyclemind. Carlos “Chuck” Isidro was the former lead guitarist for Afterimage. When Afterimage disbanded, Chuck worked in recording company. During his stay, he signed up a group managed by Darwin Hernandez. Both of them talked and chose to form a band by adding members, which became 6cyclemind.

Around two years after being formed and playing from no pay to small budget gigs, 6cyclemind got their break and signed a three-album contract with BMG Pilipinas. Late 2003, their debut album Permission to Shine was released. After several hits and nominations, the band got back to the studio to record their second album which they released October of 2005. Entitled Panorama under the merged company, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, the album was able to beat the sophomore jinx with each of the singles released proving to be hits. Panorama was soon a certified Gold Record by December 2006. Amidst all the busy schedules, 6cyclemind managed to record and release two albums on 2007. January 2007, Home, which showcased the band’s rendition of several songs which they most feel at home with was released. Home was declared a gold record late 2007. Come October of the same year, their latest offering Fiesta came out in the market, featuring songs which capture the mood of Philippine festivals.
