When Claudine and Chook first started discussing a common musical project in the winter of 2010, they came from completely different worlds.

Neither one of them knew anything about the other one's musical roots and influences. Yet, after having built successful careers in their respective fields, they were eager to take on a new musical challenge and search for common ground.

When the time came to take their songs to the stage, the duo was joined by Jorsch on drums and percussion. He adds detail and dynamics to their set and, with his enthusiasm and broad musical knowledge, soon became an invaluable asset, turning the duo into a trio. « hide |
