MUMBAI: The Hello Group India has announced the signing of W.i.S.H., India’s first all-girl pop group in over two decades, to an exclusive worldwide management and bookings deal.
Comprising Ri, Zo, Sim, and Suchi, W.i.S.H. represents a bold new wave of Indian pop. Created and mentored by composer-producer Mikey McCleary, the group the company explains is unapologetically rebellious, confident, and empowering — channeling girl power through anthemic pop bangers, striking visuals, and boundary-pushing performances. The girl group reached widespread recognition with their role performing the official ICC T20 Women’s World Cup 2024 event song. Now boasting over 220,000 Instagram followers and millions of streams and views, W.i.S.H. are proving their cultural impact.
Since their formation, they have released five singles, with their latest ‘Bolo Bolo’ making moves across India. ‘Bolo Bolo’ is also the hero track of their album ‘Sweetburn’ (2025), which has topped playlists across Spotify, Amazon Music and YouTube Music. They have had coverage across outlets such as BBC Asian Music Network, Times of India, India Today, Rolling Stone India, and Mid-Day.
Through W.i.S.H.’s exclusive partnership with THG — W.i.S.H. is set to unlock the next chapter of their career as a group. THG India will leverage THG’s international and local A&R capabilities to produce and procure the next string of singles and releases for W.i.S.H., enhance marketing and branding capabilities, oversee their live shows and touring initiatives, and much more. Since W.i.S.H. is a homegrown Sony Music India talent, created by Mikey McCleary’S DreamPop Entertainment (also a Sony Music Entertainment company), the collaboration between these three entertainment powerhouses comes as a natural and synergistic move.
W.i.S.H. said, “We’re absolutely thrilled to join hands with The Hello Group as our management partners. It’s the perfect next chapter for W.i.S.H. Together, we’re excited to keep pushing Indian pop onto the global stage while staying true to our vision.”
Mentor, Mikey McCleary said, “W.i.S.H. is more than just a girl band — it’s the realization of a dream I’ve nurtured for years. Each member brings her own unique fire, talent, and individuality, and together they create something truly powerful and fresh. Partnering with Taylor Jones and The Hello Group to represent them is the perfect next step, and I couldn’t be more excited for DreamPop and THG to join hands and see this vision come to life and share it with the world.”
Taylor Jones, CEO of THG, said, “W.i.S.H. is more than a girl group — they are a cultural movement, representing young women from South Asia not only at home but across the world. Each member embodies individuality, strength, and authenticity, yet together they form a powerful collective defined by empowerment, ambition, and creativity. They are all incredible singers, dancers, and songwriters in their own right, each having perfected their craft over many years. I’ve been following their journey since the beginning and am proud of how quickly they’ve flourished under Sony and Mikey’s leadership. The global girl group market is highly competitive, but I’m confident that, over time, W.i.S.H. will prove why they are here to stay for the long run. Our vision is for them to lead the future of Indian pop groups and to inspire the world as icons and role models for Indian women everywhere.”
