First of all, we resemble. And when you look at other duo musicians such as Kataleya and Kandle, they are good, but they do not resemble. In Uganda, we have only one set of twins who are a music duo and those are the Baninas. We believe we can do it better than others.

Yes, sometimes I feel like doing my things alone. However, she is my big sister and I have to ask her before I do anything because of our shared interests.
If you got a call that your sister was in jail, what crime would come to mind?
Fighting for me, for example, if she found people talking about me.

We resemble but Shallot pretends so much that it could even take you a year to know her.
