About Me |
|
| When we left Florida, we couldn't speak through our instruments. Now, that we're learning to, we put all of our memories, lifestyle, and culture into our playing. Keiko and Kariel were bourn in The Bay Area, and moved to the South when they were babies. Mimi was bourn in Melbourne, Fl. and Bo-pah was bourn in Orange Park Fl., but they were all Girls Raised in the South! We try our best to make you smile. Hopefully, when you see us, you leave happy!
The girls are very driven and ambitious, energetic, and motivated!
Keiko is on the Salinas Youth Commission and enjoys reading, cooking, French, and drawing. She would like to be a Rock Star, Ms. America, a pediatric surgeon, and then the President of the United States. Keiko would like to attend the Navy Academy or Harvard.
Kariel loves to read, draw, sleep, laugh, cook, garden, sing Broadway and listen to music. She would like to be a Rock Star, Ms. America, a lawyer, and to become the President of the United States. Kariel would like to attend the Navy Academy or Harvard, also.
Millenia loves to read, sing, learn Japanese and French, ride her skates, and draw. She would like to become a Rock Star, an Olympic swimmer, a lion, and then the President of the United States. Mimi knows college is a must, not an option, so she likes Columbia University because it's a big school with a lion as a mascot!
Bo-pah love to learn to ride her bike, learn to read, help with big girl chores, and play wth the dogs. She would like to be a drum tiger when she grows up! Bo-pah knows college is where when you grow older, you go to school away from mommy and daddy. So, she likes Princeton University and L.S.U. because their mascots are tigers! So, she just thinks that's just when school ends.
