Here's a little background on our band..... DNA Project was formed last May 2000. We are an all Zamboangueño band performing a variety of  music from the '70's (classic rock) to the Generation X music of today.

 

Here are the names  of it's members and their position in the band.....

Marlon T. Sebastian (Band Leader and Lead Vocalist)

Mel T. Sebastian (Vocals and percussions)

Jerome Espinoza (Lead Guitar)

Roscoe Gler (Bass)

Oilver Depositario (keyboards)
Joy Ansoc (Drums)

Madelaine (Vocals) - 1 year contract only

 

Both Marlon and Mel are the sons of the late veteran broadcaster Charlie Sebastian of Tetuan. We've been travelling around the HardRock Cafe chains in Asia  for 3 years now. And among the many bands working with HardRocks, we are proud to say that we are the only band that is considered to be the "pet band" of the HardRock Cafes... Meaning, we are the only band that has the opportunity to travel and work at their 11 outlets here in Asia, and possibly HardRock Cafe Las Vegas.  Anyway, in Zamboanga City, you'll get to see us performing at Cafe Sacco (Pasonanca) whenever we are around. And we are hoping to see you all soon. We miss Zamboanga a lot! ...DNA Project
