Strong and independent front woman Kat Agarrado has been singing professionally since the age of 17, harnessing a talent that was evident early on as she made the rounds in local music competitions. Many years in the industry have exposed her to a wide range of musical styles, from hip-hop, RnB, jazz, standards, to electronic music, for various bands including Kindred Garden, and Passage. She also occasionally does session work with the legendary Pinoy Rock icon Wally Gonzales, rendering blues and classic rock songs in her uniquely raw and powerful style.
Despite her impressive range, the desire to develop her own voice has haunted her and has led her to form SinoSikat?, where she is free to produce vocals which are purely from her heart and beyond stereotypes.

Nick joined the band right after he graduated Architechture at UP Diliman. He started playing the guitar at the age of 12; before that, he’d already been exposed to a lot of rock music from bands popular during the 80s, like U2, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Police, and the Cult. Nick sees music as continuing education; he has at turns been inspired by such diverse acts as RATM, Jeff Buckley, Weather Report, Richie Kotzen, and Chet Baker. Despite having a solid rock background, Nick found himself easily assimilated into the rich musical landscape that is SinoSikat?, and is continually challenged by its consistently genre-crossing repertoire.
