A Lineup of Great People Behind the Success of no na, from the 88rising Team to the Creator of Bruno Mars' Songs

no na was born from the grand vision of 88rising, a global entertainment and record label founded by Sean Miyashiro and Jaeson Ma in 2015. The label previously succeeded in launching Asian names like Rich Brian, NIKI, Joji, and Stephanie Poetri.

Of course, no na didn't just appear out of nowhere. Here are the people behind the scenes of no na!

The recruitment of the four members of no na (Baila, Shaz, Christy, and Esther) began secretly by the A&R team of 88rising during their first Head in the Clouds Festival in Jakarta in December 2022. Initially, the recruiter did not reveal that they represented 88rising, but instead offered an opportunity to join a global girl group before the label's identity was disclosed.

The Stereotypes are also behind the success of Bruno Mars' songs 'That's What I Like' and '24K Magic' as well as Justin Bieber's 'Somebody to Love'.
