The K’s became fascinated with the idea mime and began using the art form as an escape and a sense of security in a fast paced and changing environment. The hustle and bustle of being moved from house to house and shelter to shelter only fueled their dreams and determination of doing something larger than life. Their creative abilities and relentless efforts have afforded them to work with such notable recording artist including but not limited to Fred Hammond, Vickie Winans, Dr. Bobby Jones, CeCe Winans, Kirk Franklin, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams and the list goes on and on.
