Jaymill Atencion, Micah Tolentino, Chris Abad, and new member Del Lazaro form what Northern California knows as Legaci – A four part harmony musical group that is living up to their name.
“What about…. Legaci”, were the words from their former and late manager Mike Viernes, who dubbed them their name early in their career (1997). Though spur of the moment, (as they needed a name for a radio show they were going to perform on ) they didn’t know that this would be the name to carry them for going on 10 solid years. After the passing of Mike Viernes, Legaci has became more than a name, it was a salute to the martyr of their dreams. It was a concept that Mike Viernes engrained in their minds, “If you work hard, and never give, ‘Dreams Do Come True’.”
Co-founders Micah and Jaymill have been performing around the country with Legaci throughout the years. Performing at most major venues in California, they have hailed the Bay Area as their home and have upheld Legaci’s fan following. Renowned soloist, Chris joined in 2004 before the release of “Little Black Book”, Legaci’s first debut album. Del joins the group in 2007 from the popular Bay Area band, Next Phaze with a long resume of distinguished accomplishments.
Together they form a sound unlike any-other. With the soulful melodies of groups like Jodeci and Dru Hill, they compliment with harmonies much like Boyz II Men and Az Yet. What sets these gentlemen apart is that they are all Filipino-American in heritage. They are a new breed of American music, and await your audience. They believe they have something to offer America in terms of good music, and they’re here to prove it.
They want to bring back the type of music that made you fall in love with listening to the radio growing up.
For Your Love

Time alone
I feel the change
Like seasons change
I feel the need to let you know
I'm ready for lovin' girl and I really want to let you know
And if you
Then maybe we
Could possibly
Open our hearts and give it a try
[Chorus:]
I need to know
If this love is even possible
We've tried it once before
But damn I let you go
Back then we couldn't be
But I hope that you can see
I've grown and changed
And I know I'm ready for love.
I was thinking we
Could start again
'Cause I want you back
And I can't pretend
And if you believe in loving me
I need to know.
I'm not trying to say things are perfect
But I know this one thing's worth it
That's keeping you here right beside me
'Cause I need to know
[Chorus]
I need to know
If you feel what I'm feeling
Only heaven knows
Knows how much
We've been through
But I know that I'm missing you (you know its true)
Whatever we've been through
'Cause I've been missing you
No matter, we've gone through
Still down to ride with you
Do you still love me like you used to?
[Repeat]
[Chorus x 3]
I really want to let you know
That I never want to let you go
'Cause I'm ready for love
Been ready for love
For you girl, you know I want you so bad
I know it's love, and I know you know.
I've grown and changed.

Line by Line Meaning
It's been a long
It has been a considerable amount of time
Time alone
A period where I have been by oneself
I feel the change
I sense a transformation
Like seasons change
Similar to how nature transitions from one season to another
I feel the need to let you know
I have an irresistible compulsion to inform you
I'm ready for lovin' girl and I really want to let you know
I am prepared and willing to love you and want to express my affection to you
And if you
Moreover, if you
Feel it too
Have the same emotions
Then maybe we
Then there is the possibility that we
Could possibly
Can somehow
Open our hearts and give it a try
Be vulnerable and attempt a romantic relationship
I need to know
I require confirmation
If this love is even possible
If our love has the potential of being successful
We've tried it once before
We have previously attempted a romantic connection
But damn I let you go
Sadly, I released you from my life
Back then we couldn't be
In those days, it was not possible for us to be together
But I hope that you can see
But I anticipate that you understand
I've grown and changed
I have improved and metamorphosed
And I know I'm ready for love.
I am positive I am prepared for love
I was thinking we
I consider the possibility that we
Could start again
Can initiate a fresh beginning
'Cause I want you back
Because I yearn for your return
And I can't pretend
And I cannot feign
And if you believe in loving me
And in case you have confidence in loving me
I need to know.
I must be informed
I'm not trying to say things are perfect
I am not implying that everything is flawless
But I know this one thing's worth it
But I firmly believe that this one thing is valuable
That's keeping you here right beside me
That's retaining you in my vicinity
'Cause I need to know
Because I desperately want to become aware
I need to know
I require you to tell me
If you feel what I'm feeling
If you have a similar affectionate sentiment for me
Only heaven knows
The only entity aware of this is the divine
Knows how much
Cognizant of how much
We've been through
We have undergone through numerous experiences
But I know that I'm missing you (you know its true)
But I am conscious that I miss you (you are also aware of this truth)
Whatever we've been through
Irrespective of any past events
'Cause I've been missing you
Because I have longed for your presence
No matter, we've gone through
Disregarding everything we have faced
Still down to ride with you
I am willing to continue to be with you
Do you still love me like you used to?
Do you still have the same love for me as previously?
I really want to let you know
I sincerely want you to understand
That I never want to let you go
That I want to retain your presence in my life indefinitely
'Cause I'm ready for love
As I am ready for an affectionate connection
Been ready for love
I have been longing for love.
For you girl, you know I want you so bad
It is imperative for you to realize that I desire you excessively
I know it's love, and I know you know.
I am certain that what I feel is love, and I recognize that you comprehend that
I've grown and changed.
I have matured and transformed
