Star Magic’s Spotlight Presscon got an extra dose of fun this October with the appearance of the newest girl group DNA—composed of sisters Ezri, Julia, and Tasha Mitra. 
The sibling trio brought fresh and infectious energy to the event, leaving everyone even more excited to get to know them and see what they’ll bring to the music scene.
Asked about the meaning behind their group name, the eldest, Ezri, explained, “DNA refers to the genetic kind of DNA, and we chose the name DNA because it represents our bond as sisters. We share the same DNA, music runs in our blood—it’s in our DNA.”
The group who just released their debut single, ‘Don’t Ask Me Why’, under ABS-CBN Music’s Star Pop label, available in all streaming platforms, described their sound as “… very pop, with some influences of R&B—a little bit more dance-pop, upbeat, with some rap and hip-hop influences also.”
Coming from a family of successful and renowned names in the music industry, DNA shared that they each had their own early realizations about wanting to explore the same path—not a decision set by their parents, but quite the contrary. 
Julia, who is the middle child, shared, “I think for all of us, we love performing. Like when we were younger, we would do runways, dance, and sing in different shows, but we never took it seriously. Ayaw talaga nila ni Mommy na mag-showbiz kami, so we found ways to perform na lang in school.”
Tasha, the youngest, added: “They didn’t directly said that they wanted it [for us], but we grew up around our Tita [Regine Velasquez-Alcasid] going to her concert, our dad with the musical arrangement so we’d watch and we’d want that too. They never pushed us to do any of it. It was just natural.”
“You can expect an EP or album around the second quarter next year and we’re putting a lot of effort into preparing for it, so abangan!” The group teased, sharing their upcoming plans.
DNA distinctly establishes their branding—one that’s clearly rooted in their bond as siblings. From their unique style to their performances, their humility and genuine characters, despite coming from a family of musical success, are truly admirable, hinting at a promising and lasting run in the industry.
There’s much to look forward to, and the group hopes more people stay tuned to their journey that’s just beginning.
