Artist History
Federal prison, courtesy of the Navy's AWOL policy, and Binga's day job as Disneyland's "Pocahontas" and European and Japanese tours with recording artist Anri separated the siblings early in their adult lives. The two were reunited in Europe and began touring. Playing covers in a French café with definite mafia underrtones left the duo with a strong desire to cultivate their own lifelong musical style. They returned to the US to record their debut CD "Here" using studio musicians and a lot of digital mastery. |
