FINIX: Ready for the big time
Manila Bulletin
|August 14 2025
P-pop group FINIX (pronounced as Phoenix), a dynamic ensemble of seven exceptionally gifted young girls, is poised to make a dazzling entrance into the vibrant music scene.
-
With their unique talents and captivating energy, they are ready to share their voices and stories, promising an exhilarating musical journey that will enchant fans and listeners alike.
The Philippines is brimming with talent, but it lacks the necessary infrastructure to support it. GKD Records aims to fill this gap.
With the introduction of its pre-debut act, FINIX, the independent label is making a bold statement: Philippine pop culture deserves a place on the global stage.
Instead of chasing trends, GKD Records is committed to building sustainable systems that emphasize longevity, equity, and cultural pride.
"We didn't build GKD Records to play the game. We built it to redesign the board," said Josh Stephany, CEO and Founder of GKD Records, during a media conference at Brutal in Quezon City recently. "Our job is to make sure artists don't just survive, they lead. And FINIX is the living testament of that belief in motion."
A group forged by vision, not by accident
