Kuya Productions

Kuya Productions is a multi-platinum Grammy-nominated Canadian hip hop, R&B and pop production duo from Toronto, consisting of Samuel T. Gerongco and Robert T. Gerongco.

Samuel T. Gerongco and Robert T. Gerongco were born in Toronto, Ontario. They are the sons of Felipe and Godofreda Gerongco, and brothers of America Patman.

Sammy’s first big break as an actor/singer and dancer was in the original Canadian production of the Broadway musical Miss Saigon at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto, which then lead to a five year run on Broadway in New York City. It was there that Sammy met Johann Camat (originally from Montreal) after both being cast in the production. Shortly after that, the group Kuya was formed as soon as Sammy's younger brother Bobby joined after completing his program in music production. After beginning to develop their unique style and recording with producers in Los Angeles, New York City and Toronto, Kuya quickly caught the attention of internationally recognized producers (Wyclef Jean, Pharrell Williams, DJ Enuff, Timbaland), and record label executives within the North American Music Industry

It was in New York that the brothers put their work as a group on hold to begin developing their craft as songwriters and producers.

In 2004, Kuya Productions had produced on two U.S. Top 10 albums including the No.1 Grammy nominated Album Suit (album) for hip hop artist Nelly, as well as Mase's Welcome Back (Mase album) album. Both would do extremely well with Nelly reaching 3 million in sales world wide (3x platinum) and Mase hitting gold (500 000 units). Big Jon Platt from EMI Music Publishing signed them on in 2005.
