Paramita (band)

Paramita is a three-piece pop rock act in the Philippines that has been playing their own brand of music since 2003. Paramita is made up of Marco De Leon on guitars (replacing Norman Dellosa), Alsey Cortez on bass, and Ria Bautista on drums and vocals. On 2005, they released their first single "Hiling" under Vicor Records which placed them on the map. It was included in the 10-track full-length album entitled Tala, which is still available at all major record bars in the Philippines. Six of the album's songs are written in English while four are in Filipino. Their second album was self-entitled "Paramita" that was released on 2008 under Terno Recordings. By 2010, they decided to go fully independent under Blaster Music (an independent music organization) and launched their third album named "Liyab". Their song "Turbulence" was on NU107.7 Stairway to Seven and was No. 1 for 12 weeks on UR105.9 Underground Radio. Their songs Sulyap and Nightingale are currently playing on the local radios.

Despite being such a young band, Paramita has already been featured in several media sources, such as MTV Ink magazine, The Philippine Daily Inquirer, NU 107's In The Raw radio program and the ABS-CBN morning show Breakfast. Paramita is fast becoming one of the most solid independent acts in the scene today, enlightened by music and strengthened by a belief in their own unique talents.

Paramita is now with Blaster Music along with Reklamo and upcoming artists Odat, Penguin, Trapeze and Eleyn.
