The Juans (stylized in lowercase) is a Filipino pop rock band based in Bulacan, Philippines. [1] It currently consists of lead vocalist and keyboardist Carl Guevarra, vocalist and lead guitarist Japs Mendoza, vocalist and bassist Chael Adriano, and vocalist and acoustic guitarist RJ Cruz. [2]
The Juans was initially categorized as a boy band, but the management team decided to recategorize them as a conventional band. Jiad Arroyo was a founding member, along with Daniel Grospe. Carl Guevarra, Jason de Mesa, and Japs Mendoza joined later.
The band was initially named at a coffee shop shortly after a One Direction concert, where the boys were mulling the British boy band's popularity. They were initially called the D’ Juans, after Juan De La Cruz. [3]
In 2018, The Juans announced the departure of three members, Jiad Arroyo, Jason De Mesa, and Daniel Grospe, as their contract with Viva Records is about to expire. [4]
Before they departed, the band, along with Viva Records, created a miniseries called "We Are The Juans". They had recorded the EP, "Umaga", before the three members left the band. [5] Not so long after, The Juans introduced their new members, RJ Cruz, Chael Adriano, and Joshua Coronel.
They released the single "Dulo" in October 2021. [6]
Their March 2022 album LIWANAG was their first effort with more than two members contributing songs. [7] The album, according to the band, took over a year to complete. [8]
By June 2022, the band announced the departure of drummer Joshua Coronel citing personal reasons. [9] [10]
It was revealed in October 2022 they were recording the theme song for the ABS-CBN series Tara, G! . [11]
