“The concept began in the past once I ended up being wondering just why a singer that is asian not necessarily managed to get to your the top of maps in America, ” he told Reuters in Singapore.
The team comprises of Japan’s Natsuko Danjo, Victoria Chan from Hong Kong, Korea’s Ji Hae Lee, Alisha Budhrani from Asia and Angeli Flores through the Philippines.

Nevertheless the Lee that is 26-year-old only singing seriously after graduating from Korea’s Hoseo University — with a diploma in legislation.
“Manufactured” pop music teams happen around for over twenty years. But Blush may be the very very very first to be produced up totally of vocalists from across Asia whom perform in English, so that they can broaden their worldwide appeal.
