The nickname of Arthur Bernard, which is Champ, came from his father's sheer delight of a local group called Champoy, who won in a local singing competition the day before Champ was born. He studied elementary and highschool at Marymount School in Parañaque City and took up Human Resource Management in De La Salle University - College of Saint Benilde. He is the second child in the family. He also has three siblings.

He and his bandmates began their music career on July 2004, signed up with EMI Philippines in November 2004, and released 3 studio albums.

He is the son of Nonoy Tan, a respected musician in the Philippines who once led the band Wadab.[citation needed]
