The Company (stylized as The CompanY) is a vocal group based in the Philippines. Its current members are Moy Ortiz, Annie Quintos, Sweet Plantado, Cecile Bautista and OJ Mariano.
The original members of The CompanY were former members of the 1981 and 1983 touring batches of Ateneo College Glee Club (from Ateneo de Manila University). Their musical director, Moy Ortiz, named the group after Stephen Sondheim's musical Company. The new group focused on contemporary jazz and a cappella music, instead of songs from the classical and traditional choral that they performed under the ACGC.
The CompanY scored their first hit with the single Everlasting Love, which Ortiz co-wrote with Luigi De Dios and Rina Caniza.
This was followed in 1992 by two other hits,“Muntik na Kitang Minamal ("I almost loved you") and “Now That I Have You,” from their second album Sixby6. That same year, The CompanY performed at their major concert with the Manhattan Transfer at the Araneta Coliseum
In 2014, The Company welcomed OJ Mariano as their newest member, replacing Jay Marquez.
In The Company's existence in the music industry, they make their distinct sound with the influence of different artists and groups all like Pentatonix, The Manhattan Transfer, New York Voices, The Singers Unlimited, The Carpenters, Swingle Singers, Swing Out Sister, Pizzicato Five, Burt Bacharach, Take 6, First Call, Fifth Dimension, Jimmy Webb, Paul Williams, The Corrs, Destiny’s Child, etc.
