ABOUT PRESS HIT PLAY
Follow Press Hit Play!
Press Hit Play is a 4-member Filipino boy group composed of CHRLS, YUUKI, JP and SEV under Superb Us Entertainment (visit their official website here) and the record label Sony Music Philippines. The powerhouse idol group fuses the styles of Modern Pop, Hip-hop, and R&B in their music that makes up PHP's heart-catching discography.
​
The members were once competitors and performers in a known community for the past decade. With the same goal and same dream, they've decided to form a group, now one of the rising PPOP artists of this generation.
​
They started as an indie group, showcasing their talents through their remake covers of IV of Spades' "Mundo", Chicser's "Stuck Sayo", and Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance". From November to December 2020, the group have shown the individuality of each member through #PHPRoadToDebut Series. The members themselves worked together from songwriting to recording and video shooting to editing.
​
Press Hit Play (previously known as Power House Philippines) finally debuted on August 6, 2021 with their single "WIN (Want It Now)".
