How long have you been involved in music?:
Rutger: Basically, since I was 3 years old.
Kylie: Quite different than Rutger, as since three years ago.
What are your goals in music ? :
We are both in agreement that the world is our oyster and that we would like to become successful, perform in front of masses of people and most importantly, have fun.
Do you have a standard routine before performing?:
It is quite normal that a vocal warm up takes place, along with a prayer and a deep breath which helps calm down the nerves.
What’s your opinion regarding the music industry in Malta? :
Whilst opportunities are somewhat becoming less scarce, with the scene seeing a lot of improvements, we think that we're still backwards. That said though, we are truly at a disadvantage due to our size and resources.
Do you believe in collaborations? Who would you duet with?
We definitely believe in collaborations, considering that we are performing a duet!
Rutger: In the future, I would like to have the opportunity to duet with Ira Losco.
Kylie: It is my dream to duet with Ivan Grech of WinterMoods and Gaia, winner of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013.
How would you celebrate if you win Konkors Kanzunetta Indipendenza Junior 2014?:
Just have a blast with all of the team, after the weeks of hard work and practice.
Your Message to Music News Malta followers?:
Never let anyone put you down, or give you reason to give up. Always ensure that you're strong enough to combat anything bad that might happen. If you believe your dream, you will achieve it.
