At one of these concerts with The savage Rose, the 5 year old Billie suddenly crawled out from her spot under the piano. She walked across the stage and pulled her mothers skirt, to tell her it was her turn to sing! And so she sang in front of a huge festival crowd. As a teenager Billie sang in the choir in her parents band, until she moved in front as a lead singer in her own projects. Billie has also been performing as a singer and dancer in various dance and theater plays.

FRANK
Frank Hasselstroem was almost the same age as Billie when he had his musical debut. He got in at the highly acclaimed Tivoli Boys Orchestra, where he from the age of 6-16 years old, played the drums, trombone and finally conducted the 50 boys in the harmonic orchestra. He toured all over the world with the orchestra.
Later Frank taught himself a bunch of other instruments like piano, guitar, bass and metalofon, played in various projects, but it was from early on the work as a composer and producing that had his interest. Frank studied at the music conservatory in Copenhagen, and has since been writting and producing divert music for film, theater and symphonic orchestras.
