The pan-Asian “girl band” Blush has been around for only 11 months but already has a track record more established groups might envy — a single that hit number-three on the U.S. dance music charts and rapper Snoop Dogg in one of their songs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week, the English-singing group, whose members hail from Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Korea and India, will open for the Black Eyed Peas at their Manila concert.<\/strong> They appeared at a Justin Bieber concert in Hong Kong earlier this year.<\/p>\n

“The goal for Blush is to become really the first Asian singers to make it big in the West,”<\/strong> said John Niermann, a former president of Walt Disney Co’s Asia-Pacific unit, who brought the band together last year after a broad talent search.<\/p>\n

“The idea started several years ago when I was curious why an Asian singer had not really made it to the top of the charts in America,”<\/strong> he told Reuters in Singapore.<\/p>\n

The group is made up of Japan’s Natsuko Danjo, Victoria Chan from Hong Kong, Korea’s Ji Hae Lee, Alisha Budhrani from India and Angeli Flores from the Philippines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love their song “Undivided”<\/strong>
