Chan Q: We were friends from High School. We were all three aspiring
artist who met in high school and just decided to come together as a
group and live out our dreams. We were doing showcases and talent
shows, and that’s where we met DeVyne Stephens. He came up to us at a
talent show and was at a talent show and was like “Yo I wanna work
with you guys.”How did you link up with Akon?
Jazzy: DeVyne brought him in and the second we met him we clicked, he’s
an extremely talented guy and he’s a hard worker, so DeVyne knew
exactly what he was doing when he linked us two artists together, Akon
and DeVyne have both taught us just to work really hard and we do.
As artists, how much creative control do you have over your music?
Chanel: We have a lot of creative input, we did get a chance to write
on this album as well as having other writers come in, but DeVyne is
very open to our ideas and what we think about as far as our music
because it is our project and it is our first project, so of course
that’s very important to us. So we have a pretty big hand in creative
input towards the album and image and everything else that comes with
it.Anything else you’d like to add?
