MYMP introduces new vocalist

Juris (top) and Juliet

MYMP band has found a new replacement for vocalist Juris Fernandez who left the group last October for a solo career. The new vocalist is Juliet Bahala, 18 years old from Davao. Juliet was officially introduced to the public as the new vocalist just in time for their pre-Valentine’s Day Concert at the Music Museum titled “MYMP Now” on February 12.

Chin Alcantara, MYMP guitarist and founder, said he was impressed by Juliet's demo tapes and she is a welcome addition to the group. It was October last year when Juris Fernandez left the band for creative and personal reasons and pursued her solo singing career. Fernandez signed a contract with Star Records after leaving MYMP. The group, when Fernandez was still around, was able to do six albums and later on was chosen as the 1st PMPC Star Awards Best Duo/Group Artist of the Year for Music.

Though with new vocalist, Alcantara cleared that the group will not shift from acoustic music to a new genre. He said they will just explore the vocal range of Juliet so that they will know more the path to follow on.

The band is hoping that their fans will continue to show their support even with a new vocalist.

I'll be really honest: MYMP will never be the same without angelic-voice Juris, but I will surely be looking forward to what Juliet has in store for us. Best of luck, guys! You indeed have to make your mamas proud this time around!
