I remember hearing music by The Honey Trees for the first time early last year and falling instantly in love with their charming and whimsical sound. After purchasing their Album and doing a little research I discovered they are Becky Filip and Jacob Wick a cutesome twosome from California who are bound by their love and passion for music and each other.
As if the excitement of listening to their music wasn't enough I found these beautiful shoots photographed by Simon Filip(Becky's brother) where they both look as though they have hopped out of a magical enchanted land where sunset tea parties and singing under the stars are all part of daily life...

It was such a pleasure getting to know her over the past few months and I hope you all enjoy this glimpse into her magical world through the photo's, interview and music...
How would you describe The Honey Trees music?
I would describe our music as dreamy, magical music. We try to create an experience and stir hope in people with each song, and we hope that people feel that while listening.
When did your love for singing come about?
I suppose it sounds a bit cliche, but I've always had a love for singing! My family is very musical so I've been surrounded by music and singing my entire life. One of my earliest memories is when I was three, walking around the house, singing constantly. I also remember returning back to the states from visiting family in England when I was 12, and all of a sudden being able to harmonize with every song I heard... and I think that's when I started writing my own songs and becoming more serious with singing.
Who have been your favorite musical influences?
There have been so many! I grew up listening to a lot of Queen, Phil Collins, Sting, and Annie Lennox, courtesy of my parents. Most people think it's funny that I love Freddie Mercury so much, but it's true! I wish I could have had the chance to hear him sing live. But I also love Paul McCartney, who will forever be my favorite Beatle, and Bjork. Her voice amazes me and it's incredible what she can do with it.
I love that you are also a talented illustrator as well as a musician, do you have any other hidden talents or secret hobbies?
Why thank you! Hmm... secret hobbies... I've recently started learning how to sew! I suppose that's become a bit of a hobby, although I definitely need to practice more. I also pride myself in doing 'the charleston' pretty well. ;)
Finally, as our latest Muse what inspiration or ideas do you have for Nadinoo?
Thank you so much to Becky Filip for being such an inspiring muse and to Simon Filip for taking such beautiful photos for us. I hope you all enjoyed the feature and our mini introduction to the Honey Trees, if your hungry for more you can purchase their Album here like I did, or search their pages to see if they are playing near you soon.

these are so stunning. and that cape has just completely won me over.
How adorable! She looks lovely in your designs Nadia :)
Guess what, it's pouring with rain here, my plans of running on flower fields in my Penna dress fell out of the window! :(
Anyway, I honestly think that the Pixie's adventure cape is the cutest cape I've ever seen ;)
Have a lovely weekend,
Ale
Hi Ale,

Delighted you like our new Muse, hope the sun shines soon :)
