We can’t believe that Neon Jungle is no more!
The girls — Shereen, Asami, Jess and Amira – issued a statement on their Facebook page explaining their split.
“‘Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.’ This, from day 1, has been our mantra and always will be. We started our journey in an unknown, unnamed ‘girl band’ just 2 years ago. Within that time, we went (rather quickly) from four strangers, to four complete best friends. From being unknown, to being recognised all over the world. From being unnamed to ‘Neon Jungle’,” they wrote.
“But Neon Jungle is more than a four piece girl band. Neon Jungle are Ohana. Ohana – formed by all the love and support we have received over the past couple of years.
Which is why writing this is extremely difficult. After many honest and heartfelt discussions, we have all agreed with a tremendously heavy heart, that it is time for us to continue our journeys individually. This does not mean for a second we have separated! We will always and forever be in each other’s lives, and ALWAYS be supportive of one another. Although this is a heart breaking reality for the four of us, it is also extremely exciting, and we would love for all of you guys to also continue our new journeys with us.”
Neon Jungle‘s announcement came just days before being nominated for a Teen Choice Award for Choice Music: Next Big Thing.
Neon Jungle heat up the stage at the 2014 Key 103 Christmas Live concert event held at Manchester Arena on Thursday night (December 4) in Manchester, England.
The girls – Shereen, Asami, Jess and Amira – sang their hit song “Trouble” before grabbing an interview backstage.
Recently speaking with heatworld, Asami admitted that she used to be a huge 1D fangirl!
“I met them before Neon Jungle as a fangirl when I used to wait outside places. Then I met them when I was in Neon Jungle and told them I used to wait outside places,” she shared.
Asami added, “I got so nervous but I was trying to act really, really cool. They took it really well though. I told them I used to sing to their posters and they were fine with it.”

It’s really empowering and gives out a strong positive message. We’re all equal, regardless of race, gender, sexuality etc and we should all love and accept love.”
They added, “It takes the smallest of efforts to make such a huge difference in someone’s life, whether that be a helping hand, or even just a smile. ‘Can’t Stop The Love’ is such a feel good song. We just wanna make people happy and spread the love!”
