What do you want to do musical with the group?

Paul:I guess what I want to do is have fun, yes there're must be some kind of borderline and I know that. The place where I want the group to be is to do something new, and that's really hard, I mean it don't have to be something that is totally different, make old into new sort of type.

Kou:For me, there are lots of things I want to do with the group. I always wanted to do something that no one has done before. I know is hard, but it's a challenge that the group need to do to makes our songs better. Moreover, I believe that things don't just happen, the group need to put more effort into what we are doing. Last but not least, the most important thing for me about music is to have fun while doing it. It's only once in a lifetime and I want to create something out of five guys.

Who are the Distant Angels?What does each member have that is different?

Paul:There're Kao Moua the oldest of the group who is married, whom I must say is hard to work in a rehearsal session with just because it hard to get ahold of him to practice. Xue Vang who began this but is in Minnesota for the time being and also married, I can't really say that he not there, because he's there mentally - calling us with new idea and new songs. Down to the three other dude who are Ken, Bee, and I. Ken is into the slow ballad type, which he does great. On the other hand Bee is into those low keys ballad to alternative vocal which I must admit is sometimes hard to keep up. Then me, I really don't have a singing voice, but a knowable one, but rapping has found it's way into may creative side and life, which gives us something really different already. I'm really looking forward into working on some new project with some talented brothers.

Kou:About the group, there are five members in the group. The person that started the group were Xue and Paul. I still remember it was New Year. We were playing basketball at a school and after the game Xue and Paul told me, Bee and Kao about starting a group and this is how we started the group. Like what Paul say Kao is the oldest of the five of us. He had just gotten married not so long ago, but still keep-in up. About Paul, he is the one who keeps everyone in touch. I am very fortunate to have Paul in the group, in every groups a member like Paul is needed. Xue, he now live in Minnesota and also got married. He still keeps in touch with the group. He is not going to let his family get in the way of music. He loves music too much to let go. Bee, what I like about him in the group is if something is wrong he would tell the group and we all would try to fixed it. Most of the time it turn out better. He has his own way of singing which make the group different. I know it's hard with us living in different place Xue in Minnesota, Kao and Bee in Sacramento, Paul in Merced, and me Fresno sometimes it's impossible to get things done as the way we wanted, but I believe if this group put our mind into what we are doing we'll succeed. This is why we are called the "Distant Angels", everyone is distant apart. Thanks from Ken.

Xue:

We’re different because we are far from each other but still it doesn't stop us from reaching our dreams, we (distant angels) has kept it together and well do our best to reach our dreams. WITH ONE MIND, ONE BODY, ONE SOUL, Combined, ONE DREAM and ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Is being married hard to work as a group?

Xue:

Pretty much distant angels and I do many of things together - my wife understand that this is my dream, my goals, and she know that music is my life. She is very supportive of the group and me. So No, it really not hard, just the distance.

When can we expect an ablum?

Paul: It's really hard to do music when we all live in different part of the state, and one even live out of state. I guess we should be happy that we got this much songs done with the distance between us. We do plan to come out with an album but no date is set yet, and it'll be out when the time is right. I want you all to come back to check up on updates and new idea about our project. For now we are working hard on making our songs. There will be much in store for the year to come.
