Hello Everyone!
Thank you for stopping by. My name is Ameenah and my husband Elmer and I are so happy to be here in Riverside!
Our family has had its up and downs, but we manage to stick together through it all! I quit my job 2 years ago to tour with my husband as his road manager. While we were worried as to how it would affect the family. It was a good decision and I think we all agree that it made us stronger as a family unit!
Elmer works hard at his career to make a good home for us. And our children have been the fuel to keep this engine going!

Hey everyone! Im Mikayla and I am 21 years old and I am in my Senior year at Riverside University. I am currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Dance with a minor in Music Performance. I have been accepted to the University of Arizona for my Graduate studies and will move there after I graduate. Music and dance have always been a big part of my life growing up. I play the piano, violin, viola and cello, as well as Bass and Accoustic guitar. I sing and have had the opportunity to tour with my dad as well as help him out in the recording studio. Its been an amazing experience.
Dance has always been something I always come back to. It allows me to express myself visually taking me to a place that Im not always comfortable going to when Im singing.
I am told that I have a very eclectic personality. I think I am just me, which doesnt always fit into the societal "norm" ... Im ok with that. Im sarcastic, sometimes moody, but Im also compassionate and honest. I hate liars and gossip and am not afraid to speak my mind.
I love my family. I am definitely a daddy's girl, and my mother is the best friend I have. My brother knows me better than anyone I know and my youngest sister Gabby is the sweetest person you will ever meet.
My sister Maya and I have had our highs and lows... mostly lows.... and though we have tried killing each other... literally... I wouldnt trade her for anything in the world. She keeps me grounded.
In my spare time (when Im not writing music or dancing) I love reading books. Old horror novelists like Bram Stoker and Fritz Leiber are my favorites. I also enjoy historic novels about medieval Europe.
In addition to English I speak Spanish, Portugese and Arabic fluently.
I love striped socks and the color pink
My favorite song is "Ruled by Secrecy" by Muse and some of my favorite artists are Muse, Deftones, Korn, Atreyu as well as Jem, Cibo Matto and Skunk Anansie. There are a lot more that peak my interest... but too many to list

Hey everyone, my name is Faris and Im m a bit of a geek, but love sports. I just turned 20 and am in my third year at Riverside University. I am here on an Athletic scholarship, but my major is PreMed with a minor in Chemistry.
I have been scouted by several Major Footballer teams to go overseas, but i really want to finish school first and then see if a career in sports is what i really want.
I enjoy Reading and Writing music and poetry. In addition to Soccer I also Run Track and Swim as well as play Baseball, Basketball, Tennis and Rugby.
Anything by T.S.Elliot or J.R.R Tolkien is what im into!
I grew up in a musical household so I play the piano and guitar. I sing a little too... but Im not really into being a musician. I leave that to my dad and sisters.
I like a quiet place to chill. Not a fan of being around a lot of people. I love to travel and can speak Spanish, Potugese, Arabic and Turkish fluently.
I can have a bit of a mean streak, and am nearly fluent in sarcasm, but I am very loyal to my true friends. Whatever i missed ... ask and i'll fill you in!

Sup. Im Maya
Im 17 and Im a senior at Riverside high school.
I hate school... and the superficial clones that roam the halls.
I love garage bands and underground rappers
I hate posers, wannabees and followers... though am not opposed to leading such a band of nitwits to do my bidding
Im a lyricist mostly, but I can also play several instruments. Did the dance and gymnastics thing when i was little. I am pretty fast so i ran track for a few years. I think if I had stayed with it.. I could run circles around my brother Faris!
Ive made some not so smart choices in my life. And been down a few bumpy roads. But right now .. im in a happy place... for the first time in a long time.
This is my beautiful daughter Trinity! She is 2 years old... and honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me!
Having gone through some highs and lows with my family... and nearly losing my daughter... and my own life... a couple times. I can say that all i want is for her to have a good life. Im not perfect ... and i definitely make mistakes.. Im only human. And because of that .. i know i can always do my best to be better today than I was yesterday.
