  • Sina Deinert 

Representing Germany, Sina Deinert joined the team as a dancer in 2017. She started out performing ballet before switching to hip-hop. Sina first declined her seat four times because she believed she wouldn’t be suitable for it, but eventually, she agreed to it. For her, it was a decision and experience that would change her life.

  • Sofya Plotnikova 

Sofya Is from Moscow, Russia. She began dancing when she was a little girl at one of Russia’s top ballet academies, but she didn’t feel comfortable there and changed her style of dance.  For Sofya and her family, going to the US was a difficult decision, but when she received a message from Now United, she and her family flew to LA, for Now, United’s final selection, where she was selected to represent Russia. 

  • Zane Carter 

Before singing, Zane and his brother were playing football, but later things took a turn for him. After Noah Urrea left the team in October 2022, leaving a position vacant for an American artist, he joined Now United. Zane collaborated on projects with many of the members before formally joining the group. He earlier talked to Echo Magazine about his belief that he might contribute a different musical style and tone to the team bringing a different country music approach.

Many of the Now United members, including Hina Yoshihara, Heyoon Jeong, Sabina Hidalgo, and Bailey May, have recently left. But some of them will be on the musical album that was just released this week. We are eager to learn more about the band’s forthcoming projects and what they have in store for us.
