Get To Know The Jazz-Rock Band 'LET GRAVITY'

Five friends and seasoned musicians  ‘LET GRAVITY’ take its natural course;  drawing all of them together through their synergetic love for music.  This unexplainable force propelled them to  jam,  collaborate and write songs,  play at gigs, and record a number of tracks that are enough to comprise a full album.

Members of LET GRAVITY ‘s musical paths have crossed some time ago, as school mates, ex-band mates, work colleagues, or through common friends.  Yet they have initially gone on separate journeys.   Guitarist Sam Santos, the band’s guitarist, is a professional songwriter who composed the teleserye theme song “Alipin”, and a host of other telenovela themes.  His brother, bassist Donne Santos, was the founding member of indie-band ‘Goodbye Tracy’, and is a former member of Ramchavesband-formerly Sutil.  Acoustic and electric fingerstyle guitarist, Rigil Borromeo and drummer Alden Acosta were UST schoolmates, ex-members of the band “happydaysahead”; the latter was also a former member of pop-rock outfit “Callalily”.  The newest member of the band is lead vocalist Ram Chaves, who once had his own band called ‘Ramchavesband’ and formerly a runner up in the GMA 7 Pinoy Idol season 1 competition.  

Let Gravity’s soon-to-be-released album features carrier single / album title track “Defy”.  This single charted on OPM MYX and  Monster radio RX 93.1 It reached the TOP 10 charts for several weeks – a clear testimonial to the quality of music that LET GRAVITY produces and brought the band   to the attention of major record labels.  In addition, their latest music video for “With A Kiss” is now airing on MYX, Net 25.  It can also be viewed on on Youtube (Let Gravity channel).  Sometime in July, Let Gravity will release the music video for “Alamat”.  This track is the movie theme song of the biopic Hermano Puli, directed by veteran filmmaker Gil Portez, with Aljur Abrenica in the title role. a historical film under T-Rex Entertainment which will be showing in Cinemas in September.

Their album, as a whole, is a compilation of very beautiful and inspiring music.  When played live, the audience applauds them with gusto and they clamour for more.  Their music is very moving and several songs are already being eyed by a major network to be used as theme songs for their upcoming shows.

Man and music are naturally attracted and bound by a natural force that could be parallel to Sir Isaac Newton’s universal theory.  It is not forced nor contrived.  So when you hear melodic strains that hit your heart and soul, go with the flow, let go, and LET GRAVITY take you to a world of musical possibilities and good vibrations.

LET GRAVITY’s new album entitled “Defy” is now available on Spotify, Amazon, Deezer and Itunes. CDS available soon in Odyssey Music Store nationwide. Digitally distributed by Star Music.  Follow Let Gravity on their social media accounts:
