Being that you ladies are pursuing both school and music, how are you all able to find that balance between career, personal, as well as education?

If I’m not recording I’m doing school work. if LB is not recording she’s doing school work. definitely a lot of communication as well. We are really big on communicating with each other like.. Hey I have this essay to do help me out with it and were going to the studio after.
Mikki Vi: And really like scheduling when it comes to studio time and stuff like if we have a test we push back the studio time to study or take the test and just being able to help each other regarding work and doing homework on the was to the studio sometimes. I just graduated High School and coming back from school to the studio I would do my homework in the car on the way there. Just alot of discipline.
