International Love
Latisha went to Massachusetts to be in a music video for European Talk Show Hosts, Ylvis! The two brothers have been in the entertainment business since 2000 and have really made a name for themselves overseas. Similar to Jimmy Kimmel and The Lonely Island, the boys make comedic music videos that air during the show. Their comedic personalities were fun to be around and their crew was fun to work with! Check back to see Latisha as a Choir Member for the music video in November 2013!
