Erika:I honestly can’t say I “dove into singing” . I don’t even remember the first time I ever sang. So my theory is I have been singing for as long as I have been talking that is always my answer. I don’t remember life before singing and I don’t even know if it existed lol.
Crystal:Well we’ve been singing since we were able to walk . Our oldest sister name Aesha was a in a group as we were coming up. She is one of the people that inspired us to start singing.
Galissa: My earliest memory of singing, I think I was around four. My mom or eldest sister told me to sing in the living room. I had no idea what I was doing, music just came out. lol
