I Belong to the Zoo

I Belong to the Zoo is a Filipino indie pop rock band which started as a solo folk project by Argee Guerrero.

[2] Associated acts of the band include Mayonnaise, Reese Lansangan, Moira Dela Torre,[2] Gabba Santiago, Clara Benin, Paolo Tabuena of Runway Crimes,[3] and Tonight We Sleep.

[5] As a grade 7 student, Guerrero was exposed to live rock performances, which inspired him to pursue a career in music.

Guerrero, Ton Vergel de Dios (guitar), Rex Ferriols (bass) and Paolo Owyong (drums) formed the band Tonight We Sleep in 2007.

[5] In 2014, Guerrero started a solo musical career as he felt that some of the songs that he wrote are too mellow and emotional for Tonight We Sleep.

[6] When it comes to songwriting, Guerrero cites Dashboard Confessional as a key influence, particularly how the vocalist Chris Carraba performed in their MTV Unplugged 2.0 live album.
