Binded by their passion for music, Let Gravity band members
Sam Santos, Ram Chaves, Donne Santos, Rigil Borromeo and Alden Acosta were
probably destined to play music together. Coming from different set of bands,
their paths crossed through serendipity and have found each other some two to
three years ago. And the rest as they say is history.
For those who haven't heard from them yet, Let Gravity is an all-Filipino pop-rock band with a touch of jazz.

The band may not exactly ring a bell now, but remember their
names and their humble beginnings. Pretty soon, I won’t be surprised if they
would become household names. Now, let’s get to know the guys that made up Let
Gravity Band:
Guitarist Sam Santos is a professional songwriter who
composed the teleserye theme song “Alipin,” as well as a host of other
telenovela themesongs. His brother Donne Santos was the founding member of the
indie-band called ‘Goodbye Tracy’ and is a former member of a band called
Sutil. Acoustic and electric fingerstyle guitarist Rigil Borromeo is a music
teacher by profession, Alden Acosta was a former member of a band called “Happydaysahead”
and the more popular group “CallaLily.” Lead vocalist Ram Chaves, whose day job
is a BPO supervisor was the last one to complete the missing puzzle piece, also
had his own band called the ‘Ramchavesband’ and was formerly a runner up in the
GMA 7 Pinoy Idol Season 1 competition.
One thing about the members of Let Gravity is that they’re all
virtuoso in their own right. In fact, two members were graduates of the University of Sto. Tomas Conservatory of Music. They’re amazing individually so when you put them
all together, expect an amazing and awesome performance from this group.
Remember those cool sappy songs you used to play on your
discman? If you’re a fan of the OPM bands back in the 90’s, you’d surely love
Let Gravity band. You wouldn’t understand what I’m talking about if you aren’t
old enough to actually witness the OPM boyband rise back in those days. To give
you an idea, these were the times when bands such as Eraserheads, Rivermaya,
Introvoys, Side A and Shamrock became popular.
I’m sure, just like everyone who had the chance to listen to
Let Gravity band’s single “With A Kiss,” you’d love the way these guys put in so much
of their energy and passion in every music, lyrics, texture, and character of
each songs from their debut album Let Gravity Defy. Their debut album as a
whole is a compilation of beautiful and inspiring music. Listening to the lyrics of each song, one can
conclude that they were really written baring all their hearts and soul. “You
could say our songs have hugot messages
that anyone can easily relate to,” says Donne, the eldest in the group. The
group admits that everyone has contributed in one way or another to the songs
in their debut album.
Music is something that they naturally breathe and live for. It fuels them, keeps
them going and drives them to inspire others through their songs. Ram is a
living proof that he can balance both having a normal life yet couldn’t resist
the lure of the spotlight.
Let Gravity carries one of the most distinctive voices in
the OPM scene, a sound which has become one of the band’s signatures. Their
album features the carrier single and album title “Defy.” The single charted on
OPM and Monster radio RX 93.1. The same song also reached the TOP 10 charts for
several weeks. It’s a clear indication that the band produces quality music
that caught the attention of major record labels, audiophile as well as music
enthusiasts.
In addition, Let Gravity’s music video “With A Kiss” is now
airing on MYX and Net 25. It can also be viewed on Youtube (Let Gravity channel). By July, Le Gravity will also be releasing the music video “Alamat,”
which incidentally will be the theme song of the historical film and biopic
Hermano Puli helmed by veteran film maker Gil Portez featuring actor Aljur
Abrenica under T-Rex Entertainment which will be having its commercial run in
September.
Let Gravity Band's single "With A Kiss" has been getting good reviews and a fair airplay on the radio and videos.
Here's a video of Let Gravity band with a cover of one of my all-time favorite songs, "This I Promise You." They had given it their own treatment and a different "flavor."
