After years of individual triumphs, the country’s beloved Sessionistas — Ice Seguerra, Nyoy Volante, Sitti, Duncan Ramos, Princess Velasco, Kean Cipriano, and Juris — are coming together for a once-in-a-lifetime reunion.

On February 8, 2025, “Love, Sessionistas: A Pre-Valentine Concert” will light up The Theatre at Solaire with an evening filled with music, nostalgia and heartfelt moments.

“Love, Sessionistas: A Pre-Valentine Concert” is a love letter to the fans who have supported the Sessionistas since their beginnings in “ASAP’s” 2009 “Pwesto” segment.

Over the years, this phenomenal group captured hearts with their soulful renditions, unmatched chemistry and personal connection to their audience.

Now, they’re back to relive the magic, performing their greatest hits and timeless OPM classics and sharing intimate stories about their journeys — onstage and off.

The group is more than just a group; they are a family bound by music, friendship and a deep love for their fans. “Love, Sessionistas” is not just a nostalgic celebration but a tribute to their shared legacy and individual growth.

Ice reflects, “More than the singing, it’s the friendship na nabuo namin on and off stage.”

For Juris, it’s the camaraderie that stands out, “Early 2009 na nagsimula ’yung Sessionistas. What I like about being part of the group is that on and off stage we are having fun. We support each other, yun yung gusto ko.”

As Nyoy puts it, “We always inspire each other. There’s this weird, like, entity that we become kapag magkakasama kami. You have to see it.

When we perform, we become something else.”

Kean adds, “Para kaming iba’t ibang mutants na pinagsama-sama. Very humbling ‘yung experience sa Sessionistas kasi alam ko kapag sumasalang ako kasama ko sila, hindi siya tungkol sa’kin, eh. It’s about the music, it’s about the message.”

Sitti shares her gratitude for the bond they’ve built, “Mararamdaman mo ‘yung pag-ibig saka ‘yung suporta. It’s a once-in-a-musical-lifetime thing. I’m so thankful for all of the hours that we waited together rin sa dressing room. Home away from home.”

Duncan highlights their humor and diversity: “‘Yung wit saka ‘yung humor sa relationship namin is sobrang present. We really come from different genres — so different personalities, different characters as one.”

For Princess, the friendships are lifelong: “Alam namin kung kailangan mo ng advice or comfort, or maramdaman lang na ‘andiyan kami para sa’yo. These are friendships that I formed na lifelong na.”
