History

PARALUMAN is one of the youngest bands to hit the Metro Manila stages today. Although the band is technically still a rookie in the industry, most of the members are already experienced musicians, coming from their previous bands. As such, they are still always eager and willing to learn the ropes and are taking every opportunity given them, paving the way towards their musical maturity.

Friends since childhood, it was their common interest in music that led them to form a band. Soon after, they found themselves making their rounds on bars, doing gigs for small productions and eventually onto much bigger events.

Music

PARALUMAN’s music is daring and edgy, yet versatile enough to switch into mellow tunes whenever necessary. Madeline’s voice is smooth, rounded and quite enigmatic, mesmerizing listeners as Paraluman takes on the stage.

Paraluman writes songs which speak clearly of young minds’ experiences on love, whether it be confusion, joy, or frustration – emotions expressed on originals such as Emily, Slip, and Maghanap.

It proves that their songs know how to relate to others as their single Emily ranked on Campus FM’s daily countdown and RX daily survey. The pleasing sound of the band blessed them with opportunities like covering Sampaguita’s “Ikaw Pa Rin” for the compilation album tribute to Sampaguita entitled, Bagong Banda: Awit ni Sampaguita under Ballyhoo Records. Moreover, they have been performing in significant events in the Metro such as SMB Oktoberfest Party, MYX Slam Jam, UP Fair, and Philippine Star’s Job Fair to name a few.

With the growing number of listeners who recognized the real talent Paraluman offers, the band released their album, PARALUMAN INLAB, under Soupstar Music and Universal Records.

Having released two hit singles in 2008 which held on to the charts for weeks, Paraluman has not only made noise in the industry, but also left an impression to music junkies everywhere. Even the band’s listeners did not let them down. They flooded text lines and burned the phone lines of various radio stations, requesting for Teka and Emily. By the end of the year, Teka landed at the number two spot and Emily bagged the tenth place at the RX 93.1 Yearend Countdown.

Paraluman’s second single, Teka was also used as the original sound track for ABS CBN’s TV Drama import from Korea, “Three Dads with One Mom”. The year 2008 has also reaped various recognitions for the band becoming SOP Pasiklaband’s Favorite Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Monster Radio RX 93.1’s OPM New Artist of the Year.

With the continuing success, Paraluman entered MYX Daily Top 10 for four consecutive weeks with hit single, “Tabi” featuring Kean Cipriano and Raimund Marasigan on keyboards.
