URBAN ELEVATEDYOU’VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE START OF 2010 HOW DID YOUR CAREER EXPAND?

WELL, I BASICALLY STARTED WRITING MY OWN SONGS AND EVENTUALLY FOUND THREE GIRLS IN MY SCHOOL THAT WANTED TO SING AND WERE PASSIONATE ABOUT MUSIC JUST AS MUCH AS ME. WE THEN POSTED ARE OWNS SONGS ON YOUTUBE AND RECEIVED VERY HIGH NUMBERS OF VIEWERS. VERY SOON AFTER THAT, WE WERE DISCOVERED BY COLUMBIA RECORDS I GUESS THAT’S HOW.

SERIOUSLY YOU ARE IN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL RNB GIRL BAND IN THE UK RIGHT NOW, AND IT’S ALL JUST HAPPENED IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?

(LAUGHS) I MEAN WE ARE SO GRATEFUL AND EX-CITED ABOUT OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW RECENTLY WE HAD PERFORMED FOR OPENING ACT OF DRAKE’S CONCERT IN BIRMINGHAM. DRAKE IS LIKE THE HOTTEST RAPPER OUT THERE AND FOR HIM TO ASK US TO SUPPORT HIM AS OPENING ACT WE WERE SPEECHLESS.

(LAUGHS) WOW JUSTIN IS SUCH A TALENTED PERSON AND WE ADMIRE HIM AND HIS MUSIC TO ANOTHER LEVEL SO IT WAS AMAZING WORK-ING WITH HIM. IT’S ALSO GREAT TO SEE SOME-ONE OUR AGE SO SUCCESSFUL AND MAKES US WANT TO WORK HARDER. WE ALSO GOT TO MEET HIS MENTOR USHER AND WORDS CAN’T EXPLAIN HOW EXCITED WE ALL WERE TO MEET A SINGER WE A HUGE AMOUNT OF SUCCESS ON THE INDUSTRY.

YOU ARE FLYING OUT TO AMERICA FOR A MEETING WITH A FAMOUS RAPPER WOULD YOU LIKE TO ELABO-RATE ABOUT THAT?
