WRGO SPECIAL INTEREST ARTICLES Nicole and Scotty: “Unchartered Waters” dreams, striking up and rising above criticism and strife to be/realize who they really are; their own beautiful selves. It's our most treasured number. In our song, "Stricken", I paid tribute to a beloved friend of mine, in which we map out her life and her rise above difficulties and pain to become the beautiful artist she was meant to be, helping people through her own healing and profound music. Sometime in the near future we also plan to release a full length album, so please be on the lookout for that too! For information on Scotty and I and to purchase our music, please visit our WEBSITE.

Nicole, Scotty and their mom Ursula posing with Lisa Marie at the El Rey Theatre When Scotty and I are not singing and playing music, you can find us running amuck with our animals, laughing with our friends or riding waves at our favorite beach. We are both home schooled and we love it. My favorite subject is language arts and Scotty's are music, art, and math. When I am able to create a charity I will form organizations to prevent bullying and educate people on the benefits of home schooling. To spend time with our inspirations had been blessing and gift enough. We both love them dearly and are so thankful to them. Scotty and I now have a strong and loving support group and it warms our hearts to talk with them and hear their suggestions or advice on twitter or Facebook. We love and appreciate them with all our hearts. Today, Scotty and I have been spending a great amount of time at work on our debut E.P. and its release. We enjoy it to the fullest! We have worked with such an incredible team. We are ecstatic about the release of the E.P. which includes our three original songs, "Barefoot Traveler", "The Rise of the Storm", and "Stricken". "Barefoot Traveler", was written by us about journeys, setting your feet on the path you were meant to walk and leading the life you were born to live. We also have been greatly influenced by Michael Jackson. We grew up with his music and he has been a very important part of both our lives. We have even had the honor of singing and playing at a few candle lit vigils held in his honor. We love Michael with all our hearts and I feel that his healing soul was and is so needed here on Earth. Michael is the ultimate musical prophet and humanitarian and his love for children was utterly inspiring, pure, and heartfelt. There was not a bad bone in his body. Some of our favorites by him are "Heal The World", "Speechless", and "Earth Song". I wrote with our personal journey greatly in mind. "The Rise Of The Storm" is my proudest accomplishment in a song. I worked a great deal of effort and love into it and I hope it inspires, thrills, and encourages children and all people to strike up, give themselves the will to persevere and succeed all for the love of God. It's our version of a beachy type ballad about children who are told to give up their We would like to thank Mary with all our hearts for inviting us to be in your magazine! God bless you and L.O.V.E.! 54
