SB19 is a Filipino boy band formed in 2018. The band consists of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin. SB19 is regarded as a leading act in contemporary Pinoy pop. They are now a self-managed group under 1Z Entertainment, a company built and managed by the members of SB19.^[1]

After several years as trainees under ShowBT Philippines, SB19 debuted in 2018 with the single "Tilaluha". They received little attention from the public until the video of their dance rehearsal for their song "Go Up" went viral in late 2019. This led them to strategically use social media to expand their reach and popularity as well as increase their fandom. They became the first Southeast Asian act to be nominated on the Billboard Music Awards,^[2]^[3] and the first Southeast Asian act to make an appearance in the top 10 of the Billboard Social 50.^[4]^[5] SB19 promotes its music as part of Pinoy pop, a popular sub-genre of Original Pilipino Music.^[6]
