Interview with Jonnie and Brookie (Originally done June 18th 08)


Hey girls! Lets start off with you introducing yourselves and tell us how old you are!
I'm Jonnie and I am 16 and I'm Brookie and I'm 14.


We read that you have been touring over the US for over 7 years! How did you get started in mucic and becoming a duo?
When we were 3 and 5 we started singing in a group in our town. Once we decided it was what we really wanted to do, we broke off and started performing on our own!

Whats it like performing for a big audience of children, knowing that you are showing them a positive influence?
It is an amazing feeling knowing that we are inspiring kids by doing what we love and that we can influence them in any way!

Are you still on the "Kids CAN Make a Diffence" Tour? If not, how was that tour and is so, how is going so far?
Yes we are still continuing our Kids CAN Make a Difference Tour. Right now we have raised over 92,000 cans of food. We are so close to making our goal and want to say thanks to everyone who has helped us get there!

We think it's amazing that you girls have written 3 childrens books! Could you tell us what they are about?
We wrote these books with our mom when we were little and they are about adventures that "Jonnie and Brookie" go on! They also teach lessons in it like appreciating what you have, etc.

Who are your inspirations and why?
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is our biggest inspiration. He has blessed us with so much and we want to give back to him with our singing.
Our musical inspirations are actually a lot of the teenage bands that are siblings. We really look up to people like Aly and AJ, Everlife and Jonas Brothers while performing or writing music!

We noticed you girls play guitar. Do you play the insturments while you perform?
Yes we do! We play guitar, piano and Brookie plays bass!

Who would you like to share the stage with in the future?
There are so many amazing artist out there we would love to share the stage with! On big one is of course the Jonas Brothers! We also want to someday perform with Aly and AJ.
What is the perks about being a duo as compared to being a solo artists?
Being a duo you always have each other to rely on. We can always look to each other whenever we mess up or need help on stage! And it is also sooooo much fun being able to perform on stage as sisters!
What can we excpect to see from you in the next year?
In the next year we are going to be on the road a lot with a band called Mission Six. We also are releasing our newest all original cd. We hope we can see alot of our fans in the next year and meet a lot of new ones!
What do you have to say to all your fans and supporters?
Thank you so much for all your support! It means so much to us its hard to even explain! We would be no where with out all the support of everyone one of you and we hope we can meet all of you really soon. Thanks so much and God bless!
