Kakoy is known to be one of the top guitarists in the whose played with some of the most popular bands and musicians in the country. He's cut his teeth in the band scene by playing with Mr.Crayon where he's built a reputation as a scorching blues and blues rock guitar player covering tunes from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan. As his experience and playing evolved, it's not a surprise how his talent and musicianship was recognized. He's played with the likes of the Blue Jean Junkies, Barbies Cradle, Peryodiko, Dong Abay and has done numerous session work and even sideman projects for bands like Imago and Sandwich. His musical progression and expanded view of music can clearly be heard in the "progressive" band Salindiwa for the 2006 Album One. Although is musical expression and understanding is known to be quite deep and varied, he is better known to have been a member of RiverMaya (who helped pushed the alternative rock scene in the 90's). He was part of the second evolution of the band with Rico Blanco as lead vocalist. Their music videos time at the time of his stint with the band has won the favorite group video awards for MTV Pilipinas in 2002 and 2003. Kakoy who now plays with Bamboo Mañalac (former frontman of Rivermaya) also makes music with other bands and groups together with teaching guitar. His love for music and expressing himself through his art transcends the need for recognition or fame. Maybe Kaki Shankar is the guitar hero we need.
