Together with Champ, Roll Martinez, Sheldon Gellada and Omnie Saroca formed the band Hale in 2004. They made popular the hits "The Day You Said Goodnight,” “Kung Wala Ka” and “Kahit Pa.”

In 2010 they disbanded after Champ decided to pursue a solo career as a singer and actor.

Hale fans will no longer stare at the “Blue Sky” again without these boys in the background as Champ announced the release of their comeback single “See You” on January 27.
