\n

\n\tThis May, 88rising<\/a> unveiled its latest girl group: no na. The Indonesian quartet \u2014 made up of members Christy, Baila, Esther and Shaz \u2014 debuted with the soaring single \u201cShoot,\u201d illustrating the group\u2019s knack for vocal harmonies and love of R&B.<\/p>\n

\n\tIts second single, \u201cSuperstitious,\u201d<\/a> leaned more into pop, and the group says that sweet spot between the two genres is where no na will thrive. The foursome made its live debut this month as 88rising\u2019s annual Head In the Clouds: L.A., their adoptive home after relocating from Indonesia last year to focus on music full time.<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\tFoundation\u2002\u2002\t<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n

\n\tIn December 2022, 88rising brought its celebrated Head in the Clouds festival to Jakarta, Indonesia \u2014 marking the event\u2019s first time in Asia and also becoming the unwitting origin story of the label\u2019s newest girl group, no na. Members Baila, Shaz and Christy all met at the festival \u2014 and exchanged quick, tepid handshakes, they joke today. While Shaz and Christy come from dance backgrounds, Baila was pursuing music as a solo act at the time, having competed on Indonesian Idol Junior<\/em>. Six months later, Esther, a singer who had competed on season 10 of Indonesian Idol<\/em>, completed the quartet, and they started training together in Jakarta with joint dance and vocal lessons. \u201cThat\u2019s when we started spending every single day together,\u201d Esther says. Baila adds: \u201cIndonesians are pretty easygoing, and it was so easy for us to get along. We didn\u2019t have to try to like each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\t\tTrending on Billboard\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\n

\n

\n\t\tDiscovery\t<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n

\n\tThe four members of no na were all stealthily scouted by 88rising, an effort helmed by founder and CEO Sean Miyashiro. But when one particular project manager reached out, \u201cWe didn\u2019t know that she was from 88,\u201d Esther recalls with a laugh. \u201cThey just mentioned, \u2018Would you like to be part of a global girl group?\u2019 That kind of scared us at first.\u201d But Shaz jokes, \u201cWe stalked her,\u201d and found out that they had a legitimate offer to not only form a global girl group but also move halfway across the world to Los Angeles. (The four members moved there in 2024, sharing an apartment.) While they were immediately aligned on their influences \u2014 \u201cpop, reggae, jazz; we all love R&B,\u201d Esther says, shouting out Victoria Mon\u00e9t and FLO as well as \u201cthe classics\u201d like Janet Jackson and Diana Ross \u2014 they struggled to agree on a group name. After combing through more than 200 options, they agreed on \u201cno na\u201d \u2014 a riff on nona<\/em>, which means \u201cmiss\u201d in Indonesian.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n\t\tFuture\t<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n

\n\tSpotlighting its native country is a priority for no na \u2014 from the group\u2019s visuals, like filming the stunning music video for debut song \u201cShoot\u201d back home, to its lyrics, which will incorporate Indonesian phrases. \u201cWe want to represent our country to the world, where not a lot of people are familiar with everything about Indonesia,\u201d Shaz says. The act has started to spread the word worldwide: In May, it made its live debut at Head in the Clouds: L.A., which was a full-circle moment. As Esther says: \u201cA dream came true for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
