簡歷:
Kjwan started as a four piece band from Manila that consists of Marc Abaya, Kelley Mangahas, Jorel Corpus, and Jhoon Balbuena, who wrote, recorded and co-produced their self titled album. Then guitarist, Boogie Romero, joined the band after the release of the self-titled album.
Kjwan burst onto the scene in 2003. They came down hard, raw, in your face, and coined the now-familiar catchphrase, “Bastusan na!” to signal some heavy rocking. Their hit song, “Daliri,” became an anthem to a new generation of rockers and being true to yourself became the order of the day. Three years later, at the height of the new music renaissance, Kjwan is braving a second album, 2 Step Marv, which promises to be many things more than their first.

2008年6月6日 上午9點09分22秒KJWAN Bio and Synopsis
Kjwan was formed in 2003 through acquaintences in the private Ateneno De Manila Univserity. With an initial affinity towards funk and classic rock music, demos of songs were passed between Marc Abaya, J-Hoon Balbuena, Kelley Mangnahas and Jorel Corpuz. Their first publicity was gained when they entered the compilation of 'school-cheer renditions', in line with the final NCAA basketball season. Taking and nailing the song in a very short amount of time, legendary producer discovered the raw talent, energy and enthusiasm this group has. He later promised to produce Kjwan's self-titled debut album KJWAN.Released in 2003 fall, Kjwan's debut album (released under SONY Philippines 2003) was well received and their second single DALIRI, an amalagam of funk rock riffs and a hooky tagalog chorus, immediately gained Kjwan a household status and shortly after they started touring around country. Three more singles were released shortly after and solidified Kjwan's presence the nu-breed Philippine Rock Scene. Their edgy and sultry debut album strongly positioned Kjwan between college teeny boppers and working class rock fans. Kjwan was then nominated in both the MTV Music Awards and Nu Rock Awards for numerous categories * in the 2004-2006.
In November 2006, Kjwan released their eclectic and electronica music inspired concuction, their follow up sophomore album - '2 STEP MARV'.
