Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken and Justin of SB19 are on a high after making a splash in their first public appearance in various events shortly after retaining their group name with former label ShowBT Philippines.
During an awards show of an e-commerce platform, Pablo and Stell showed off their vocal chops through their respective solo stages, a duet of their song “Liham,” and a mini showdown of the smash hit “Gento.”
The 1Z Entertainment CEO did a cover of JK Labajo’s “Ere,” while “The Voice Generations” coach performed his own renditions of “That’s What I Like” by Bruno Mars and “Marvin Gaye” by Charlie Puth.
Pablo and Stell then joined forces for a duet of their 2023 song “Liham,” as seen on CinemaBravo’s X (formerly Twitter) page.

Ken, on the other hand, delighted fans with a “Moving Closer” performance on the Wish 107.5 Bus. The video was uploaded by one JustinTime on their YouTube channel.
SB19 has yet to make their first public appearance as a group, as of this writing. They are set to perform at the upcoming Asia Artist Awards at the Philippine Arena on Dec. 14.
The quintet’s solo appearances came shortly after their company 1Z Entertainment announced it settled the ownership of their group name with their former agency ShowBT Philippines after an “amicable agreement.”
