SB19 is a trailblazing Filipino boy group composed of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken (FELIP), and Justin. They made history as the first Southeast Asian act nominated at the Billboard Music Awards and are recognized pioneers of P-pop’s global rise. The group is self-managed under their own company, 1Z Entertainment, allowing them full creative control over their music, performances, and direction.
The “SB” in SB19 stands for SOUND BREAK—symbolizing their mission to break through the noise and redefine the music scene with originality, passion, and purpose. Known for hits like GENTO, MAPA, and Bazinga, SB19 fuses genres like pop, hip-hop, and R&B with powerful lyricism and deeply rooted Filipino identity.
As P-Pop’s pioneering act, SB19 continues to break boundaries and redefine what it means to be a global artist from Southeast Asia. With sold-out tours, viral performances, and growing recognition across Taiwan, Japan, the U.S., and more, they’ve earned their place as SEA pop superstars, the trailblazers that T-Pop, I-Pop, V-Pop, and the region’s rising acts look up to and call their own. Their ability to connect across cultures while proudly representing Filipino identity positions them at the forefront of Asia’s pop revolution.
FELIP, also known as Ken Suson, is SB19’s main dancer, lead rapper, and lead vocalist. He is recognized for his deep voice, unique musical style, and strong fashion identity. Beyond SB19, FELIP has built a distinct solo career with darker and more experimental music influences while continuing to represent Filipino artistry globally.

SB19’s name carries the idea of Sound Break, reflecting the group’s mission to break through the noise and challenge expectations for Filipino pop music. From their early viral rise with “Go Up” to global-facing releases like “GENTO,” SB19 helped open a wider conversation about what P-pop could become.
The group’s journey is also tied to creative independence. Under 1Z Entertainment, SB19 has taken greater ownership of its music, production, choreography, visuals, storytelling, and long-term direction. This shift strengthened the group’s identity not only as performers, but as artists actively shaping their own career.
As P-pop’s pioneering act, SB19 continues to represent Filipino artistry on larger stages. Their music connects emotional storytelling, high-level performance, and cultural pride, making them one of the key groups that younger P-pop acts and Southeast Asian pop watchers continue to look to as a benchmark.
In July 2026, the Department of Tourism officially named SB19 as the Philippines’ newest tourism ambassadors, recognizing the group as one of the country’s finest representatives of Filipino culture. The announcement came just days before a string of historic international appearances, with Tourism Secretary Dita Angara-Mathay pointing to the group’s reach across the United States, Europe, and ASEAN as proof of their ability to draw global audiences back to the Philippines. As part of the partnership, SB19 will work with the DOT to invite A’TIN worldwide to experience the country’s culture and destinations firsthand, building on a fanbase that already spans chapters across Southeast Asia, the United States, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates.
That tourism ambassadorship arrived alongside a run of firsts for the group. On July 29, 2026, SB19 became the first Filipino group to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a Major League Baseball game, ahead of a Chicago White Sox versus New York Yankees matchup. A day later, on July 30, 2026, they made history again as the first Filipino act to perform at Lollapalooza in Grant Park, Chicago, one of the largest music festivals in the world. Their international schedule continues into August with performances at Summer Sonic 2026 in Osaka and Tokyo, further extending their reach across Asia’s festival circuit.
These milestones mark a new chapter in SB19’s ongoing push to bring P-pop to bigger stages worldwide. Where earlier eras of the group’s career were defined by breaking into the local charts and building a name across Southeast Asia, this stretch of 2026 has been about proving that a Filipino act can headline the same festival circuits and cultural moments as the world’s biggest names, all while doing it as official representatives of their home country. As SB19 balances major festival stages with its role as tourism ambassador, the group’s story keeps circling back to the same idea behind its name, breaking through the noise, whether that noise comes from inside the industry or from the challenge of introducing Filipino music and culture to new audiences abroad.
