"We are a brother, sister duo who live 1200 miles apart but come together to make music. We both struggle with disabilities, Riki (sister) is the vocalist who has a stutter but when she sings the melody comes out beautifully. Dirk (brother) is a self taught one handed guitar player due to 4 strokes he suffered at the age of three causing him to lose use of his left arm. We write originals and add our own twist to covers."
