If there is a multi-faceted dynamic group like Ntwine, Ms. Babes Newland or “Tita Babes” as how she’s fondly called, is one multi-tasking band manager. Her motto being, “If there is one thing worth doing, it’s worth doing it well”. She made sure to excel in whatever fields of endeavor she puts her heart into. Having worked with various embassies during the past 20 years as Commercial Specialist for Finland, Sweden and the Canadian Provincial Government of Quebec as Commercial Attacheé, Tita Babes earned excellent reputation in the field of bilateral trade promotion.

But as an old adage goes, one will always yearn for his/her first love. And MUSIC is Tita Babes’ one true love. Shortly after the university where she took up Communication Arts, she became one of the original main vocalists of a group called “Hall of Fame” during the late 70s/80s. But her singing career came to a halt when her father passed away and she was suddenly beset with responsibilities to send her young siblings to school.

Her first taste of managing a band was through her siblings’ group called REtroSPECT wherein she was responsible for coining in name so aptly. Soon after, REtroSPECT became a local group to reckon with when it comes to great musicality and incredibly unique packaging.

She formed Ntwine in 2000 with the vision of molding young talented musicians into one superb-sounding group and with good looks to match.

She’s also Ntwine’s overall trainor, repertoire specialist/musical director; stylist; fashion/image consultant; and last but not the least, a professional makeup artist having earned certification with distinction from the world-renowned Toni & Guy of London.

Tita Babes is the formidable force behind Ntwine. In all of of her 4 years managing the group, Ntwine has undergone 2 major reconstructions, so to speak.. And each time such changes occurred, Tita Babes has managed to come up with fresher creation/reinvention of ideas/images for the group. These changes happened as if they were necessary for Tita Babes to achieve the best edition, or her “dream” team of what is now to be known as the 3rd generation of Ntwine.

After the success of Ntwine’s debut album/CD Light under Viva Records plus a music video of their carrier single to boot, Tita Babes hopes to come up with their full album sometime early next year that will primarily feature not only original compositions but some revivals as well. Apart from that, she has started lining up plans for Ntwine to go international not only in the recording arena but in live concerts/shows as well.

Lastly, she would like to thank Rustan’s U for believing in the group as effective image endorsers of their stylishly cool and hip outfits specifically catered to the trendy young adults.
