AO: Let’s take it back to your upcoming single. “Fairytale”. You recently shot a music video for the single, whats the concept/storyline for the video? Will fans be surprised? HD: We always like to put a twist somewhere in the video! We love a happy ending. The song is called Fairytale! Basically, without giving anything away, the message is that things don’t always work out the way we initially envision, but it’s not the end of the world. Again, about empowerment. Turning a negative into a positive.

AO: Whats your favourite lyric in Fairytale? Cat: If i gave you my favourite line it would spoil the video! Ang: “over and over”….you’ll understand when you hear the song! LOL

AO: Let’s talk about your upcoming album, which will be released this summer. What can fans expect on the album? HD: Our fans can expect a variety of feel good dance music that they can relate too! The album will take them on a journey. AO: Is there a general theme or concept that the album will carry? HD: As of now, we’ve been working off of the theme “Fairytale”…but it can always change and evolve into something new! How life in general can be percieved as a fairytale regardless of what happens. It’s all about how you spin it.

AO: When fans are listening to the new album, what message do you want to send to them? HD: We strive to send a positive message through our music. A message of empowerment. We want our fans to have fun, relate, and get lost in our music! and see that regardless of what happens in life, you are in charge and in control. You control how things affect you…good or bad.

AO: Before we close this interview, do you have any last words for you fans? HD: We would like to thank our fans for their support and send our love. We love hearing from everyone. It really inspires us, so please keep in touch with us on….

What made you want to integrate dance into your music? HD: Dance is such a large part of our lives. So many hours of training went into it. Its what we love to do…it’s what led us into our singing career! We didn’t want to completely give up something we love so we decided to integrate them! We feel this is so much more visually entertaining and captivating performance.

What musicians inspired you to start making music? CAT: Nicole Scherzinger! I love the way Nicole can go from the pop sound of Pussy Cat Dolls to Phantom of the Opera and Don’t Cry For Me Argentina. Her voice is so pure and she’s so elegant and classy. ANG: Lana Del Rey! A lot of her songs are based on her life and her experiences. She inspired me to be true to your music and write from the heart.

What influenced you to start making music in your genre of choice? HD: Our dance background! We always loved hip hop and getting funky! With the music we write we can do just that! We also loved lyrical, showing vulnerability, and through our ballads we can express that.

Whats the music scene like in your hometown? HD: The music scene here is great! We have worked with many artists here and they are very down to earth hard working people with fantastic music! There are artists here that we have followed for years and gotten to know, and they unknowingly took part as our inspiration to go after our music career! Go Canada!

Whats sets you apart from other musicians in your scene? HD: We take everything we do very seriously…even though we have a blast when singing there are certain things we want to accomplish when performing…we not only want to sing for our audience…we want to put on a show. A production. Even if its just a two song gig. In that sense it could set us a part….we focus on the singing, the dancing, the overall performance with equal energy used for all! We also want to include the fans. We want them to know we sing about things we really feel and careabout and leave everybody on a positive high.

What’s it like creating and performing together? HD: Wouldn’t want it any other way!!! Performing together is great, such great energy! We feed off each other, and it’s a blast. As for creating, when we sit down to write we are very open with each other and we don’t take anything the other says personally…we know our opinions are said with love. We both have the same goals, the same dream…makes us a perfect team!

To date, what has been your best moment as a duo? HD: The other day we recorded a song that was written entirely by us for a very dear friend that died of ovarian cancer. It was so emotional. So many memories. We write all the time, so many ideas and songs get written out but they don’t all get recorded…this one did and is in the works! It’s very exciting to see the results when we feel so strongly about something and put our minds to it!

You’ve released two single ‘Just Like That’ and ‘Broken’ What’s next for you? HD: Our music video for ‘Broken’ will be released soon! It is so exciting. Wait till you see it, and the twist we throw at you. We have shown the first edit to some fans and love to see their reactions when they see it for the first time…. and it’s not even the final official video yet. As well, we will soon be taping the music video for ‘Just Like That’. We are also heading down to Miami in November to record new music with some great producers with great ideas! We have so much coming up, and can’t wait to make it all public!

What do you want fans to take away from your music? HD: Our music is very positive and energetic. We want our fans to hear our songs and relate to them. See that they’re not the only ones going through whatever is happening in their lives. To show them that we can look at situations in a more positive way. React to situations in a more positive manner. Take Control

If you could change one thing in the music scene in your town, what would you change? HD: We find that there are many more collaborations in the States. Different artists merging their sounds together and creating something incredible. We don’t often see that here in Canada. We love working with new people, there are no limits! That’s what we are most excited about heading to Miami!

What other artists have you been compared to as sounding like? HD: We definitely think we have our own sound and bring our own brand of music and entertainment, but fans have told us that we remind them and have a vibe of something between the to Pussy Cat Dolls and Katy Perry.

Where is your dream place to play. (Venue/country) HD: An outdoor stage under the sun….maybe in Miami or Brazil! With thousands of people hearing our music and singing and dancing along!

What has the highlight of your year been so far? HD: Last year we wrote a song in memory of a good friend of Cats. This year we had the opportunity to record it and we have had great feed back. We have also discussed a music video for it as well. Its very exciting and makes us very happy to see how this song is being accepted and we really want it to be a success because it holds so much meaning to a lot of people.

Where do you see yourselves in 5 years? HD: In 5 years we see ourselves touring and meeting new fans, working with other artists. Inspiring others to follow their dreams and do what they love! Wish It, Dream It, and Don’t Let Anyone Stop You From Doing It

Anything you’d like to say to your viewers and fans? HD: We would like to thank all our fans for their support! :) Help us spread the word. We do what we love because of all of you! All of you are our Diamonds. Put those sunglasses on because we’re ready to shine! :D xoxo
