6 Cycle Mind (or Six Cycle Mind / 6cyclemind) is a Filipino band composed of Rhoneil "Ney" Dimaculangan on lead vocals, Ryan "Rye" Sarmiento on rhythm guitars and backup vocals, Carlos "Chuck" Isidro on lead guitars, Bobby "Bob" Cañamo on bass and Tito Fortunato "Tutti" Caringal on drums. Their music is a fusion of alternative music and pop music.

The band was named 6cyclemind even though they are only five because they consider their manager as their sixth member. Their manager wrote most of the band's hits.[citation needed] They have successfully released four albums under Sony BMG Records Philippines: Permission to Shine (2003), Panorama (2005), Home, & Fiesta (2007).

[edit] Name Origin

6cyclemind comes from the 5 members plus their manager, Darwin Hernandez as the 6th person. Collectively, they all contribute to the composing, arranging and brainstorming, which is a continuous cycle in their creation of music, hence 6cyclemind. Carlos "Chuck" Isidro was the former lead guitarist for Afterimage. When Afterimage disbanded, Chuck, worked in recording company. During his stay, he signed up a group managed by Darwin Hernandez. Both of them talked and chose to form a band by adding members, which became 6cyclemind.
