The first duo that popped into my mind when bringing the word 'nostalgia' and 'travel' together would be Shannaz & Daiva.

Define Kallula in words? Blunt, hard lover, sensible, and black parade. What inspires you to be an entertainer? I believe it has always been my calling since I was small. Nobody in my family urges me towards that path until I decided to pursue them myself because I heard Lykke Li on the radio. How does it feel to do the thing you love most?
