SIGN: Sagittarius

BIRTHDAY: December 18

HOMETOWN: San Jose, CA

PETS: two dogs, Naya (mini American Eskimo) and Meeka (pit/lab)

FAVORITE FOOD: Fettuccine alfredo, Japanese and Filipino food, and chocolate

FAVORITE PASTIMES: singing, writing, sleeping, eating, playing with my dogs, and spending time with family and friends

INFLUENCES: So many artists have influenced me but I guess my favorites would be Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott, Brian McKnight, and India Arie. I also used to sing to Mariah Carey's albums. Us three grew up listening to R&B so it has played a major role in the type of music we sing. My favorite groups are Boyz II Men and EnVogue.

EMBARASSING MOMENT: We were performing at Berkeley in front of a huge crowd. We had a guy on stage sitting down on a chair while we sang and danced around him. As we did this one move where we bend down to get closer to the guy, my mic hit the chair and the other end of the mic hit my teeth making a loud noise throughout the theatre. I know that guy was thinking, "This girl is such a dork!"
