After becoming a pop sensation in the Philippines, native eight-member girl group Bini appears ready to take on the international stage.
Key points:
Bini debuted in June 2021 under label Star Magic with the song "Born to Win."
Known for their powerful vocals and catchy tunes, the group has racked up hit songs, awards and millions of views with the help of a devoted fanbase.
Last week, Teen Vogue listed the group among its "12 Girl Groups to Watch in 2024," alongside global acts like Babymonster, Illit, Kiss of Life and Katseye.

Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna and Sheena started as trainees under ABS-CBN's Star Hunt Academy in 2018. The members honed their skills as singers and dancers for years before debuting.
The name "Bini" pays homage to the Filipino word "binibini" — meaning "young lady" — reflecting the group's embodiment of the modern Filipina.
The group’s music is a mix of bubblegum pop and teen pop, with catchy melodies and relatable lyrics. Among their recent hits include "Pantropiko," which became a TikTok trend.
BINI's recent EP, "Talaarawan," features another hit, "Salamin, Salamin," which reached number 2 on the Billboard Philippines Songs chart.
Group members Aiah, Mikha, Stacey and Colet have all contributed lyrics to their songs. This hands-on approach allows them to create music that resonates with their fans, who are affectionately called "Blooms."
In March, the group was named the "Most-Streamed P-Pop Artist" by Spotify Philippines. "Pantropiko" also topped Billboard's Philippines Songs chart last month.
What's next:
Bini is set to hold their first solo concert, "BINIverse," at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City, Philippines, from June 28 to 30.
