  New 82 year old subscriber from California here.  Welcome to the rabbit hole of Missioned Souls.  The four children are: Naces (16, bass, keyboards), Neisha (15, lead guitar, backup vocals), Stacey (13, lead singer, rhythm), and Isaiah (Ice)(11, drums).  To see how they got so advanced at such a young age, you might like Missioned Souls' family history (as mentioned in interviews):  Mom (Sheena) and dad (Secan) met playing in a college band in Cebu, Philippines.  They kept performing in a professional band (State of Grace) after that and got married.  Later they started taking all the kids to their practice sessions and gigs.  Secan (a professional studio engineer) taught the kids the basics of playing bass, and each of them eventually branched out to other instruments.  The children are home schooled by their parents and their grandmother, an American missionary living with them.  Around 2022, they wanted to start a family band but had no one playing lead guitar.  He asked Neisha to try learning guitar, and showed her some basics.  Within a month, she took over playing guitar.  None of the children read sheet music, learn everything by ear, and are self taught.  But they picked up a lot of helpful tips from the band members. A video of Ice's eleventh birthday shows him drumming on pillows at four years old, and another video shows the kids singing with a microphone at about four also, plus the whole family sings in church every week.  Around 2022, they started learning songs, and in late 2023 they started uploading U-Tube videos.  They now have over 250 videos of nearly every genre, some with the parents, some with just the four children.  One of the first videos they released was "Hysteria" by Muse, with the children on their back porch, and it is a must see.  "Tunnel Of Love" by Dire Straits, "So Far Away" by Avenged Sevenffold, "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman, "Alone" by Heart, and "Rosanna" by Toto are other outstanding performances.  When they do a cover, all six of them have to vote yes before they will do it.  To see some of Ice's drum skills, check out their cover of "Everlong" by The Foo Fighters.  Other great covers are:  "Highway Star" and "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple, and "Separate Ways" and "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.  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.  They are now working on some original music to be released soon.

  The mom is not in this video.  The keyboard was added post because the keyboard player is also the bass player.  When the parents join the kids on a video, the dad handles the bass and the mom shares the lead vocals with the youngest daughter.

  Check out their live concert cover of Bon Jovi’s Bad Medicine and you’ll see the entire family.  Here I believe Naces on bass(and keys) is 16 (birthday is late Dec) Stacey on lead vocals and rhythm guitar is just 13, Neisha on lead is 15 and Ice on drums is 11 with his birthday late November.
