NEW VIDEO: Kuya – Stay Here (Directed by Big P. Hepburn)
Holeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
This song is heart-wrenchingly beautiful.
What a return this is for Kuya! If you know you’re sh*t when it comes to this T.O. R&B ish then you definitely know this big chune from back in ’04. The past 10 years though have seen 2 out of 4 of the group predominantly behind the scenes writing and producing for a handful of artists (and they’ve seen some great success with it – see below). Don’t know what the catalyst was for their official reunion but damn, it’s well overdue. And if this is the new direction then I only see great things in the near future. Hopefully the world is finally ready for a Filipino R&B group because this ish is the truth. The beauty these days is that they don’t need some wack label to “figure out how to market them”.
Hopefully this spreads as it should…
Kuya has reunited to share a powerful message with their new video. Life is short. Hold on to each and every moment. #StayHere.

The word Kuya, meaning older brother in the filipino language, was chosen as the name for the group for a very specific reason – Kuya consists of a set of brothers, Sammy and Bobby (born and raised in Toronto), along with Johann and Jayson who hail from Montreal. The group was first introduced to the world in early 2003 with their VIDEOFACT funded video “Southern Girl” which was was featured on MuchVibe, and gained enough viewership to be certified “Vibe-Rated”. The group took a hiatus due to personal life decisions. It was then that Bobby and Sammy formed Kuya Productions.About Kuya Productions:
