MYMP (Make Your Mama Proud)

M.Y.M.P. (or MYMP, short for Make Your Mama Proud) is one of the acoustic band acts in the Philippines, which consists of 5 members. Their career started when Raymond Ryan, a station manager of iFm watched their gig and met up with a producer to produce their 2003 debut album, Soulful Acoustic, which is now Certified Platinum Record.
In 2005, M.Y.M.P. released their second album titled Beyond Acoustic and third album Versions through Ivory Music. The success of the two albums prompted the re-release of their second and third albums in a 2-disc set the same year. In 2006, they released their fourth album, New Horizon, and DVD of their concert in the Music Museum. In 2008, M.Y.M.P. released their last album on Ivory Music, titled Now, as the group signed a deal with Star Records.

New singer

Juliet Bahala was introduced on January 24, 2010 as the new vocalist of MYMP on ASAP. Juliet, an 18-year old regional singing champ, hails from Davao where Juris also came from. The other new members of MYMP are: Jeff Lima (drummer); Hannche Bobis (keyboardist); Chrisbery Haber (bassist); and Maria Teresa Tinio (manager). 

 2011, present time

MYMP recently released their 6th studio album titled "MYMP The Unreleased Acoustic Collection". The band was also signed to a new recording deal with Galaxy Records. MYMP continues to do gigs around the Philippines and abroad. Contrary to popular notion, MYMP is not just an acoustic duo. MYMP is a five-piece band. More and more people are looking towards this group with the aid of social networking sites such as Twitter [MYMP2010] and Facebook [MYMP Fans Club].
