Star Magic's Spotlight Presscon was even more enjoyable with the introduction of the newest girl group, DNA, made up of sisters Ezri, Julia, and Tasha Mitra.

The sibling trio brought a fresh, infectious energy to the event, leaving everyone eager to get to know them better and see what they will contribute 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 each of them 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, with infectious energy, playfully exchanged snippets of their exciting plans for the future, illuminating how their branding is intricately woven into the fabric of their sibling bond.
Their distinctive style radiates charisma, while their performances captivate audiences, brimming with authenticity and genuine warmth.
It's truly inspiring to see how they remain grounded despite emerging from a lineage of musical legends, hinting at a bright and enduring career ahead in the competitive industry.
As their journey unfolds, excitement is abundant on the horizon, and the group hopes that more fans will join them, eagerly anticipating the remarkable adventures that lie ahead.
