Uplifter is a reggae band from the island province of Mindoro, Philippines. The band was formed in 2017 by vocalist Paulo Clutario, drummer Apollo Ylagan, guitarist Ronnel Macaguiwa and percussionist Ghilbert Martinez. Ylagan, Macaguiwa and Martinez were high school friends and met Clutario at a wakeboarding spot in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro.
They did acoustic jam sessions after their wakeboard rides and then decided to formally form the band that expanded to include bassist Mark Joseph Buñag and guitarist Kaloy Payuran which came up with the name for the band after the popular album of the band 311. Keyboardist Joshua Manzo and saxophonist Benj Cueto came into the group adding more layers of sound to the band.
Payuran and Manzo left the band. Trumpeter Rolando Ordanza, trombonist Bunjoy Garcia and guitarist Benjo Logmao were later added to complete the band’s final line-up. Bringing in elements of reggae, jazz and rock together, the band is promoting their own brand of reggae music to the local music scene.
