Stepping onto the historic Big Dome stage was already a monumental milestone for the rising P-pop group 6ENSE, but the night became truly unforgettable when they walked away with the Rising Boy Group of the Year trophy at the 11th PPOP Music Awards.
The unexpected victory caught the members completely by surprise. Deeply moved, the group immediately dedicated the honor to their dedicated fanbase, emphasizing that their supporters’ unwavering love is the primary fuel driving their journey forward.
This major win arrives amidst a whirlwind period for 6ENSE, who are currently managing a packed schedule of events and fresh music releases. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the intense workload, the members view the pressure as a blessing that pushes them to evolve.
The awards night itself was packed with standout moments. 6ENSE kicked off their performance with a revamped, high-energy rendition of their track “Piliin Mo Ako.” They then sent the crowd into a frenzy by debuting a surprise, unreleased song titled “Kitang Kita Kita,” featuring an unexpected cameo by the iconic group Chicser.
The performance marked a massive comeback for Chicser, who made their highly anticipated return to the stage after a long hiatus. In addition to the stellar collaboration, Chicser was also honored with the prestigious PPOP Frontier Award that evening.
Sharing their Big Dome debut with Chicser was a profound experience for 6ENSE. The group expressed immense gratitude to their industry seniors for jumping on the track and dedicating precious time to rehearsals despite their own hectic schedules. Chicser warmly returned the praise, commending 6ENSE for their exceptional talent, tireless work ethic, and utmost professionalism.
The backstory of “Kitang Kita Kita” is rooted in camaraderie. The track was penned by 6ENSE’s own Wiji, inspired by a concept from RS Francisco, who envisioned a song centered on the enduring power of friendship. Backed fully by Francisco and the Luxxe White family, the creative vision successfully united both groups in the recording studio and culminated in their show-stopping awards-night showcase.
Fans have plenty more to look forward to. 6ENSE’s latest single, “11:11”—written and produced by the acclaimed Kiko Salazar—is currently out now under Star Music, with the official release of “Kitang Kita Kita” slated to drop in the near future.
With their ultimate dream of playing the Araneta Coliseum now fulfilled, 6ENSE is already setting their sights on even grander stages, including the SM Mall of Asia Arena and the massive Philippine Arena. But for now, the group is focused on tackling their upcoming projects and celebrating this monumental career milestone alongside the fans who made it all possible.
