In an interview before their first audition for America's Got Talent, Shanice explains how they got into street performing.

For their performance during the Quarterfinals on America's Got Talent, Shanice and Maurice sang the song ‘There You'll Be' by Faith Hill. And they gave it all they got while singing the lyrics and bringing such a great energy to the song.
"In my dreams, I’ll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart, there will always be a place for you, for all my life
I’ll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you’ll be
And everywhere I am, there you’ll be"
At the end of their father-daughter duet, Maurice kisses his lovely daughter on top of her head as they take in the standing ovation that was given to them.
