She graduated from North Allegheny Senior High School, and completed a B.A. at Miami University (Ohio) in Zoology with a minor in Music Composition. After a year of post-graduate work in vocal performance at Duquesne University, she was awarded a talent scholarship from Berklee College of Music, and an additional B.M. in Contemporary Writing, Production, and Performance.

Core band members include Sharon Aguilar (lead guitar, violin), Brittany Brooks (drums), and Regina Zernay Roberts (bass guitar, Moog synthesizer).

Members of the band continued to play together in various combinations (sometimes under other band names). Aguilar, Flaminio, and Brooks performed with front woman Sammy Allen at Whisky a Go Go in April 2012, where Cee Lo joined them on stage.[6]

Their performance at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey,[9] was ranked by The New York Times critics among the best concerts of the year.[10] The concert at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles ranked #29 on Billboard's Current Box Score, the first K-Pop girl group to make this rank.[11]

We can do everything they do, and even better."[17]
