We back y'all! We have been so busy creating a mini-empire but we finally got some time to talk on the mic about the last 3 months. Dealing with the last 15 months has been a lot of shared trauma. A lot of build-up, optimism, letdowns, and depression. The whole spectrum of emotions. With this episode, we reflect on our story and how we are doing now with the opening of our new business venture, Atomic Dancewear!

In this episode, we dive deep into our. past and talk about what it means to be an artist to us. Artistry can be all around us as long as we can accept it.

Because we needed another thing to do, we started a podcast! Welcome to Rhythm & Booze! In this first episode, we tell the crazy story about how we were chosen to be a part of the new music video for Jon Batiste's song, I Need You. From the moment we got the call, to flying to New York, to rehearsals, and eventually, on set shooting, we knew we were a part of something special. We hope you enjoy the story and join us as we continue this new adventure into podcasting!
