George: .. "Shower singing only" most of my life... I had a terrible fear of singing out in front of people...nobody believes it but its true. Sooo, i've actually only been singing for people about 3 or 4 years. Lovin it!

Sunnie: Really? only 3 or 4 years. Wow! I'm impressed. So, tell me who are some of your influences in the music industry

Sunnie:Wow, you're just a one man band. I love it.

Sunnie: So what genre of music are you categorized and what other styles are you associated with

George: It's def. RnB but with so many influences. Jazz, Hip Hop, Classical, Alternative, 80's Rock type stuff.... and you can hear it all blended together. Its Delicious! Sunnie: It sounds like you have a musical receipe of your own.

Sunnie: If you could work with one artist who would it be and why

Sunnie: Do you notice how people always ask in an interview, where do you see yourself in five years. I'm different cause five years are way too long. I wanna know where do you see yourself in a year.

George: definitely recording great music and doing amazing shows! I try not to predict the future..that is a mistake i've made in the past. Its good to have goals.. however its also easy to get hypnotized by our own fantasy of success so.. for now..i'll just work hard and appreciate each day and we'll just do another interview a year from now and catch up on things!
