Tayao conceptualized the project 8 years ago, back when he was still active with Queso. The perfect chance to manifest the idea did not become so vivid until he was able to cosmically find members or better yet the members finding him.
Wilabaliw expressed their aim to "consciously promote the progressiveness of the Filipino music scene and expand it globally." Known for their engaging live shows, they strive to create performances that are meant to be "experienced" rather than simply "watched."
