Warta Kema – No Na just performed their very first debut stage at Head In The Clouds (HITC) in Los Angeles on Saturday (31/05), earning widespread acclaim from fans and the general public alike. The performance itself garnered millions of views and likes, with many congratulating the group on a successful debut stage. 

For those who are unaware, No Na is a girl group under the 88rising label that released their first song, “Shoot,” on 2 May 2025. No Na has four members in it—Baila Fauri, Christy Gardena, Esther Geraldine, and Shazfa Adesya. Right off the bat, the group fostered much attention due to their fresh vocals and stunning visuals. This leads to them having several notable accomplishments, which includes having 1.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, an impressive feat for rookie artists.

No Na has brought a new color into the international market. Their appearance in Head In The Clouds brings something different because they incorporate some Indonesian traditional dance choreography into their performances. They also use one of Indonesia’s places of interest as their background during their performance at HITC Los Angeles. Gamelan accompanied their performance in their intro, proving that they’re Indonesia’s representatives.

“I’m incredibly proud to see Indonesian representatives showcasing our culture on the international stage. It’s a rare occurrence in the Indonesian music scene, making this achievement all the more remarkable,” said Esther Pics (@esthergrldn) in a direct message interview with Warta Kema.  

A lot of fans can be seen giving the group support during their performance.  “No Na’s vocal talent far exceeds that of many K-pop girl groups I’ve followed. Typically, girl groups in the industry conform to East Asian beauty standards, but No Na brings a fresh perspective, proving that Southeast Asia has its own unique beauty,” said Esther Pics. This stage is such a fresh start for No Na to step into the international music industry.

“No Na’s performance at the HITC LA finale stage was particularly memorable, especially since they shared the stage with 2NE1, one of the most iconic girl groups globally. The fact that they held their own and left a lasting impression after such a legendary act is truly remarkable,” said Esther Pics excitedly. 

No Na brought five songs to this stage, two of which are still unreleased. These songs are Superstitious, Falling in Love, Shoot, Back Off, and Throwback. Their performance at HITC Los Angeles trended on  X with the hashtag #NONAatHITCLA2025, showing how enthusiastic people are about their first stage.
