Hip chick alert puts the spot light on Sopranos Olanna Goudeau (Port Arthur, TX) and Ashley Renée Watkins (New Orleans, LA) are southern belles who currently make their home in New York City. The pair first met while studying voice performance at Dillard University in New Orleans, LA.

A REAL HIP CHICK as is Olanna , her partner in music ! What a pleasure to stumble upon some other great artist here in NYC! JUST SAYIN!
