Na Drua member Semi Qoro passed away on Saturday (August 30, 2025). The musician's family has not shared the cause of death and other details.

The music duo consisted of twin brothers Semi and Jonah Qoro. They grew up in Hawaii and the Fiji Islands. Na Drua means 'twins' in the Fijian language. The Qoro brothers attended Kaimuki High School and moved to Utah for higher studies.

According to their website, Na Drua focused on representing their culture with their music. The duo created songs in a variety of genres, including folk, rock, rap, jazz, reggae, country, and traditional Latin and Polynesian rhythms.

Their last release, Ranadi Ni Utoqu, was released in January 2025. The duo was scheduled to perform at the Fiji Forever: A Hui Hou Tribute Honolulu At-a-Glance event on September 13, 2025.

A GoFundMe was organized to support Semi Qoro's family. The organizer of the fundraiser shared in the description that the "overwhelming" support the artist's family received led them to create a GoFundMe page.

So far, $5,700 has been raised out of $30,000 goal. The donated money would go towards the Qoro family's needs.

"After an electrifying performance on Saturday night our beloved brother with a big voice and even bigger heart was called home. We, as family, wanted to create this GoFundMe because there has been an overwhelming outpour of love and support shown towards Nia and her children in their time of need. Any amount donated will contribute to their family's immediate and future needs," the description reads.
