About Us
*Leila Bakry-Becker*: (Lead/Background Vocals, Violin, Hand Percussion)
​
A singer since before she could walk, she started by listening to and singing along with her Daddy’s 45rpm Buddy Holly records in the family basement (anybody still remember what those are~!???). At about the same time she started musical training on the violin~! She enjoys all kinds of music, and plays violin when she has time, but her first love is singing. She has played with local garage-band and performance groups as time permitted for the past number of years: Mosaic, MissGuyded, Second Thoughts, Dog Years to name a few. When not working or singing, she can be found with her nose in a book, or kicking back with her family, including a dog and four (!??) cats.

*Mike Carter*: (Lead/Rythm Guitar, Lead/Backup Vocals)
​
He's been playing guitar for so long, can't remember not having one around. Raised on country music at the foot of his old man, who was a performer and musician in his own right, since birth - and started out being his 'personal roadie’ for starters ~! Decided that the best way to rebel and really tick him off was to take his first electric guitar and start jamming on classic rock – before it was such a thing. Been playing live in a variety of bands, from Top 40 to classic (and one side trip into an outlaw country band - 'what the???'), for way too long to count - and can't see quitting anytime soon~! Played all over the place, from Iceland (‘Iceland’~!!!) to Southern Maryland, NoVa to PG and Montgomery County. Arrived in the DC area via a long and convoluted route in the military and New York…
