00:06we don't think about being women doing stuff differently we just do it because
00:11we've done this our entire lives sometimes people will say so who produced that track
00:17that guy and it's no we did that they may think someone else had to pay for us to be
00:23in this city and record no we paid for that ourselves with our savings
00:30our music is not like we are girls and we are powerful yeah it's like okay these are
00:35black women doing something cool I'm inspired by it
01:01my name is Charlie my name is Margo and together we are Chargo spirit fingers
01:17the way that Charlie and I met I was working in Boston I just graduated from school I have the
01:22typical office job that they tell you to get me graduate and I see this girl on the corner with
01:30a blonde mohawk and like red cowboy boots and she's playing classical music and I say I played the
01:39viola do you want to play together sometime and she's like hey girl the next day we went and played
01:45on the same street corner automatically people stopped a crowd formed people are coming up to
01:50us like hey are you a band and that's how we knew let's just do it one of the best
02:03experiences we've
02:04had in the subway this woman she's like I'm getting ready to have brain surgery I want to put your
02:10CD in
02:10before I go under because your music was so inspiring and I want that to be potentially
02:19potentially the last I'm sorry potentially the last thing that I hear before I go into the surgery if I
02:26don't make it out she was like I was so inspired by your music and so inspired by your energy
02:31that
02:32that's the sound I want to hear those are the moments where you're like okay you know what that
02:40inspiration that you can give people where they're really that touch is worth it so so some of the
02:49artists we've collaborated with are really cool first was Kendrick Lamar before any lyrics were
02:54written to bitch don't kill my vibe and then that led to writing all over schoolboy Q's album and then
03:00that led to writing on J Cole's album we get to play at lots of museums like the Brooklyn Museum
03:06the MoMA
03:07we can blend what we do classically with some of the new and with some of the fun stuff that's
03:12happening right now I met Chargo at South by Southwest and we met on this rooftop they were dancing and
03:36being Chargo you know they have enough confidence in themselves to do whatever they want to do they
03:43instill that same confidence in everyone around them that is dope that is gonna go so hard on the project
04:06I understand that by being brown women and don't we do it's beautiful because I know that just visually
04:14that creates something for people and I used to kind of like shy away from it I'm just like hey
04:28just
04:28listen to my music it's not about all this political stuff but I understand that it's powerful and I
04:33appreciate that and I embrace it and it just makes me want to keep doing what I'm doing so that
04:38people
04:38can like a enjoy the music I enjoy making the music but also so that I can continue to inspire
04:44you make me want to throw my paper out the window call Sally Mae let that hoe know
04:53I ain't never gonna pay my college loans throw my paper out the window call Sally Mae let that hoe
05:00know
05:03I ain't never gonna pay my college loan thank you
