VST & Company

VST & Company (commonly abbreviated as VST & Co. or simply VST) was a Filipino disco band formed in Manila, Philippines, by Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Spanky Rigor. The band was one of the most successful Filipino bands of the late 1970s and is widely recognized as an early proponent of Original Pilipino Music (OPM), gaining mainstream success with its debut hit disco B-side single "Awitin Mo at Isasayaw Ko" in 1978, which played a pivotal role in the rise of disco culture in the Philippines and initiated "VST Mania", a period of widespread acclaim in the late 1970s that swiftly established the band as national icons.

The primary studio members included Lorie Illustre (keyboards), Jun Regalado (drums), Roger Herrera Jr. (bass), Celso Llarina (guitars), Vic Sotto (vocals), and Spanky Rigor (vocals), while the performing lineup featured Roger Rigor, Male Rigor, Monet Gaskell, Val Sotto, and Jun Medina. The band released five albums featuring notable hits such as "Rock Baby Rock", "Swing It Baby", "Disco Fever", "Magsayawan", "Kiss Kiss", "Magnifica", and "Step No, Step Yes". The band also starred in three feature films—Disco Fever (1978), Swing It, Baby (1979), and Rock Baby, Rock (1979)—which highlighted their significance and influence within contemporary Philippine pop music.

Alongside groups such as Boyfriends, Hotdog, and Cinderella, VST & Company were instrumental in pioneering the Manila sound genre.
