Their first album, Making It in 1988 reached platinum sales, and helped usher in a new era in the Philippine recording industry that is now known as the early 1990s band explosion.
[citation needed] Neocolours' songs have been covered repeatedly by various artists through the years, which contributed to the band's stature as a relevant 1980s/'90s pop act.
Jimmy has also composed top-charting songs for different artists; "Makita Kang Muli" (Sugarfree); "Mga Kababayan Ko", "Cold Summer Nites" and "Man From Manila" (Francis Magalona); "Just Love Ngayong Pasko" (various ABS-CBN talents).
Lead vocalist Ito Rapadas, who is also a songwriter, is the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) production department managing director for Universal Records.
He has since collaborated and produced pop-rock albums and songs by Janella Salvador, Daniel Padilla, Jericho Rosales, Kyla, Barbie Almabis, Yeng Constantino, Rocksteddy and Rivermaya.
He is currently the owner of his own recording studio, OnQ, and he is in-demand by famous artists and singer such as Martin Nievera, Anne Curtis, Angeline Quinto, and Lea Salonga.
