Q. At what age did you realize you wanted to become a music artist and why? Karina: I was always involved with music, since I was a little girl, I was in my school choir and played the piano, but I was 10 years old when I knew that I had to sing for life. It is a magical feeling to sing the songs that youve written and when people show their appreciation it fills me with satisfaction and happiness. Q. Most music artists have that special someone or thing that influenced their decision to do music. Did anyone or something in your life play a major role in influencing you to go into the music business? Karina: When I was 10 years old I listened to The Cranberries and I was in love with their music and Dolores voice. I wanted to have an impact on people and get whats in my heart out there so people who are going through the same things relate and help them in any way it can. Q. In terms of the music, which major artist(s) influenced your style and why? N.o Subject: Each one of our members has their strong influences. Its really not down to one artist.

But our music is original, its eclectic, but we always maintain on our genre that is rock. Q. With so many independent artists trying to make it, what makes you stand out from the competition?

Music industry professionals are quick to say that being an artist means to gracefully fit a marketable niche in the industry. If you were offered an opportunity that asked you to be something you are not, would you do it to get your foot in the door?

In regards to wheeling and dealing, how important do you feel business knowledge is to making it in an industry filled with much heartache?

Business knowledge in this field is vital. Q. Let's fast forward to 5 years from now. What advice would you offer to struggling independent artists?

Good things come to those who wait and persevere. Q. Most successful artists are involved in charitable organizations that stand for a cause that hits close to home. In that regard, once you reach success, what charitable cause(s) would you like to be involved in and why? No Subject: We would like to stand for different causes and for people we find that really needs help. One of our goals if we make it big in this field is to help struggling musicians who like us had trouble getting through this field in terms of money. But we think that the causes that really need more support are the ones affecting lives like helping people that have mortal diseases or people who needs food for survival. We would definitely be helping all that we can to make the world better. Well, we thank you for taking the time to interview with us and certainly wish you the best in your music career endeavors.
