SB19 is a Filipino boy band consisting of five members: Pablo, Stell, Ken, Justin, and Josh. Formed in 2016 by ShowBT Philippines, the group debut in 2018 with their first single “Tilaluha” (lit. ’Like a Teardrop’). They are the first Filipino and Southeast Asian act to be nominated in Billboard Music Awards for the Top Social Artist category, as well as the first Southeast Asian act to enter in the top 10 of Billboard Social 50 weekly and year-end charts. SB19 promotes its music as part of Pinoy pop, a popular sub-genre of Original Pilipino Music.
The letters in the group’s name were taken from the initials of their former Korean management company, ShowBT. The number 19 is derived from the country calling codes of South Korea (+82) and of the Philippines (+63)- the difference of 82 and 63, and the sum of the digits (8 + 2 + 6 + 3). It symbolized the collaboration of the two countries in the formation of the group. The members themselves, however, used the phrase “Sound Break”—for the goal to “break into the music scene” and improve the quality of Philippine boy groups.
