About Kuya:
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.
