WH: We don’t usually suffer from stage fright anymore. We’re all pretty used to it since we’ve been performing for so long. However, when we were younger we didn’t know what to do! We’d usually just make mistakes in front of everyone.
emme: What is your song writing process like?
WH: We write songs together at band practice. Usually someone will come up with an idea and show it to everyone, and then we will collaborate and make a song out of the idea.
