BINI:
Hi, I’m Sheena. Hi, I’m Mikha. Hi, I’m Aiah. Hi, I’m Stacey. Hi, I’m Gwen. I’m Colet. I’m Jhoanna. I’m Maloi and we are BINI. We feel honored to be representing the Philippines in the global stage. It was just a dream for us and now it’s really happening, and it’s not just a personal achievement, but the whole OPM as well. And right now, we are still honestly in shock that this even happening, but we are so grateful to everyone who truly believes and supports us and in return we promise to give you guys good music and performances soon.
I think with BINI, with us girls, aside from the music that we put out and the craft that we built, I think it’s because of us, girls and our personalities, and all the BINI CORE that the people love and enjoy because with us girls we’re just really being ourselves. I think the term for that is us being authentic and it’s like what you see is what you get and of course, excellence. We always aim for excellence in everything that we do. Yes, speaking of authenticity, I think it really shows in our songs. Also our personalities show in our songs and I think that’s what makes us relatable.
So when has it ever sunken in… I don’t think it ever has because we’re just always ourselves like we don’t really… we don’t let fame or the titles get to us.
Keep watching for more!
