Mitra Sisters, Now Known as DNA, Deliver Powerhouse Performance at Debut Album Showcase in Quezon City

The Mitra Sisters, who have rebranded themselves as DNA, opened their debut album showcase with a series of high‑energy performances that drew enthusiastic applause from the crowd in Quezon City. The trio—Ezri, Julia and Tasha Mitra—demonstrated the vocal growth and stage presence that have earned them a growing fan base in the Philippine pop scene.

During a post‑show interview held in Quezon City on Friday, Ezri explained that the group’s goal is to continually improve: “It is us trying to get better and becoming a better version of ourselves,” she said. The comment reflected the sisters’ focus on refining their craft as they transition from single releases to a full album.

The showcase featured the trio’s new tracks “DNA,” “Speeding Ticket,” and “Lessons.” The title track, “DNA,” has already been released on major streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music, giving listeners immediate access to the song that anchors the album.

Regine Velasquez‑Alcasid, the celebrated Filipino singer often called Asia’s Songbird, attended the event as the sisters’ aunt. In a statement shared with the press, Velasquez‑Alcasid expressed pride in her nieces’ progress: “I am very proud. So, so, so proud of what they achieved. And they worked really hard. Keep working hard, malayo pa mararating.” She added, “Kung ano tinuro ko they did it exactly the way I taught it. They are very good. I am proud and you sang it perfectly.”

Velasquez‑Alcasid’s endorsement underscores the family’s musical legacy. The Mitra sisters are daughters of music manager Cacai Mitra, who has been instrumental in guiding their early career. Their debut single, “Don’t Ask Me Why,” was released on October 9, 2025, under Star Magic’s StarPop label, and received positive reviews for its dance‑oriented production.

The showcase was organized by Star Magic, the talent agency that has nurtured many of the Philippines’ top performers. The event served as a platform for the sisters to present their debut album, which is expected to be released later this year. While the full track list has not yet been announced, the inclusion of “DNA,” “Speeding Ticket,” and “Lessons” suggests a blend of pop, dance, and contemporary R&B influences.

Industry observers noted that the sisters’ performance showcased a polished vocal technique and confident stage presence, qualities that have been highlighted in their earlier releases. The crowd’s enthusiastic response indicates a receptive market for the group’s music.

The Mitra sisters’ transition from a single‑release act to a full album marks a significant milestone in their career. Their ability to secure the support of a veteran artist like Regine Velasquez‑Alcasid and to perform confidently in a high‑profile showcase positions them as a notable new entry in the Philippine pop landscape.

As the album’s release approaches, the sisters and Star Magic are likely to increase promotional activities, including interviews, live performances and social media campaigns. The availability of “DNA” on streaming platforms provides an immediate entry point for fans and industry professionals alike to gauge the group’s musical direction.

In summary, DNA’s debut album showcase in Quezon City was a successful launchpad for the Mitra Sisters’ new material, reinforced by familial support and industry recognition. The group’s continued focus on improvement and their growing presence in the pop market suggest that they will remain a subject of interest for music journalists and fans in the coming months.
