  What an incredibly talented family. <br>The musicianship is impressive, but what stood out most to me was the chemistry between everyone on stage. You can tell they&apos;ve spent years making music together. <br> <br>A big shout out to all the Filipino viewers watching — you&apos;ve introduced me to some fantastic musicians over the years, and Missioned Souls are another great example. <br>How long have you been following the band? <br> <br>Subscribe ► <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/RooneyDrums?sub_confirmation=1">https://www.youtube.com/user/RooneyDrums?sub_confirmation=1 </a><br>Drumeo FREE Trial ► <a href="https://www.drumeo.com/andrewrooney/">https://www.drumeo.com/andrewrooney/ </a><br>More Reactions ► <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqspKksRqaUURy8K34sBSKvuGo3ApmLC2">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqspKksRqaUURy8K34sBSKvuGo3ApmLC2</a>

  The beginning is called &quot;Foreplay&quot; Go back and listen to Boston&apos;s version and you will truly appreciate just how good this cover is. It&apos;s pretty much note for note.

  All would agree that the talent of all is beyond belief. They are just that talented. All great covers of iconic songs.

  Thank you, I love this group. I’m married to a woman from the Philippines and I’ve had the opportunity to jam with musicians there. They are absolutely amazing, I’ve met bands there that have a repertoire of more than a thousand songs. What amazes me the most is their ability to morph from one style to another quite seamlessly and be extremely convincing while doing so. Missioned Souls sometimes performs with just the kids playing, their Deep Purple covers are jaw dropping.

  Welcome to the Missioned Souls rabbit hole!<br>You &apos;ll be also blown away by their Highway Star cover (and all the other ones too).

  83 year old new subscriber from California. &nbsp;Welcome to the rabbit hole of Missioned Souls. &nbsp;I believe we are witnessing history in the making. &nbsp;We get to see the beginnings of the next generation of superstar musicians.They are now working on original music to be released this year, and are planning tours in the US, UK, and Indonesia in 2026. &nbsp;Here&apos;s their family history (as mentioned in interviews) and some of their most popular covers: &nbsp;It is practically like a fairy tale! &nbsp;The four children&apos;s current ages are: Naces (like Faces, 17, bass/keyboards), Neisha (like Kneesha 16, lead guitar/backup vocals), Stacey (13, lead singer/rhythm guitar), and Isaiah AKA Ice (12, drums). &nbsp;Mom (Sheena, singer/video editing) and dad (Secan, bass/sound engineer) met playing in a college band in Cebu, Philippines, and still live there. &nbsp;They kept performing in a professional band (State of Grace, with several recordings) after that and got married. &nbsp;They started taking the kids to their practices and gigs as part of their audience. &nbsp; Secan taught all the kids the basics of bass guitar at about age 7, and each of them branched out to other instruments on their own. &nbsp;The children are home schooled by their parents and their paternal grandmother, an American missionary living with them, which is why they all speak English fluently. &nbsp;All of the children are self taught and learn by ear (probably most of them have perfect pitch and photographic memory). &nbsp;Ice started drumming on pillows at four years old, and the kids started singing with a wireless mic (in birthday videos) at about four also, and they all sing in church every week. &nbsp;They also picked up helpful tips from the band members. &nbsp;In late 2022, they started playing at small gigs but had to hire some one to play lead guitar. &nbsp;Secan asked Neisha to learn guitar and showed her some basics. &nbsp;Within a month, she took over lead guitar. &nbsp;In late 2023 they started uploading U-Tube videos, mostly to watch themselves and improve their playing. &nbsp;They now have over 300 videos of nearly every genre, some including the parents, some with just the four children. &nbsp;All six of them must vote yes before they record a cover. &nbsp;One of the kids&apos; earliest videos on their back porch in 2023 was &quot;Hysteria&quot; by Muse, and it is a must see. &nbsp;&quot;Jump&quot; by Van Halen, &quot;Tunnel Of Love&quot; by Dire Straits, &quot;So Far Away&quot; by Avenged Sevenfold, &quot;Sweet Child O&apos; Mine&quot; by Guns And Roses, &quot;Alone&quot; by Heart, and &quot;Rosanna&quot; by Toto are other outstanding ones. &nbsp;Some of Ice&apos;s early drum skills show on &quot;Everlong&quot; by The Foo Fighters. &nbsp;Other great covers are: &quot;Highway Star&quot; and &quot;Smoke On The Water&quot; by Deep Purple, and &quot;Separate Ways&quot; and &quot;Don&apos;t Stop Believing&quot; by Journey. &nbsp;They also have covers of the Beatles, ABBA, CCR, Evanescence, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, The Offspring, Paramore, Elvis, Joan Jett, and Many others, spanning 7 decades.

  As a professional drummer you would appreciate Ice in their studio version of Crazy Train, or Tunnel of Love. Better yet his sisters recorded him doing a solo drum cover of Phychosocial which is insane drumming by Ice.

  They are simply incredible, aren&apos;t they, Andy? Believe me, the more you listen to this amazing family band, the more you want to see their videos. MS6 or MS4 have a very bright future in the music world.

  Nobody can accurately explain this band... though there are LITERALLY millions of people trying - including myself! After about 7 or 8 months of following them now I am still amazed every day that I listen to them... and that is every day! The rabbit hole is deep, so dive right in! You&apos;ve just scratched the tip of the iceberg!
