From uploading family jam sessions on YouTube to performing before international audiences, Cebu-based family band Missioned Souls is set to reach another major milestone as it prepares for its first-ever U.S. concert tour this September.
The six-member band, composed of spouses Secan and Sheena Alipio and their children Naces, Neisha, Stacey, and Isaiah, has steadily built an impressive global fan base through its music covers and wholesome family performances.
Today, Missioned Souls boasts more than 700,000 followers on Facebook, 328,000 YouTube subscribers, and over 63,000 TikTok followers, with millions of views coming from audiences in the United States, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and other parts of the world.
For the Alipio family, however, the growing popularity has never changed their mission.
Lead vocalist Sheena Alipio said performing together remains the most rewarding part of their journey.
Beyond their musical talent, Missioned Souls has become known for promoting family values, faith, and wholesome entertainment—qualities that have resonated with viewers around the world.
According to Secan Alipio, their family’s unity is what makes the group stand out.
“Unity is the magic. Nakikita kasi nila na isang unit kami. Yung faith din namin, ‘yun lagi ang nasa comments.”
Their upcoming U.S. tour is being produced by former singer Lerma dela Cruz (Lerma Cailles), who said she was inspired to bring the band to America after seeing the overwhelming support they receive from both Filipinos and international audiences.
“Filipinos and especially non-Filipinos recommended that I bring them in. I watched their YouTube videos. Ang galing! I want them to be more known by the Filipino community in America. They have a big international demand.”
U.S. concert promoter Vic Perez believes the band’s universal appeal comes from its unique family dynamic.
“YouTube attracts a universal audience, so a lot of Americans are also musically inclined. They like to listen to music and doon nila naispatan ang Missioned Souls.”
“Very rare ‘yon na magkakasama ang magkakapatid at mga magulang. That’s the unique appeal of the group, and they perform so amazingly well.”
The inaugural U.S. tour will include performances in Texas, New Mexico, and Rancho Cucamonga, California, giving many of their longtime online supporters the opportunity to finally watch the family perform live.
