The Rochester, N.Y., natives earned their bachelor's degrees from SUNY Potsdam in 2007, where they were Potsdam Bears cheerleaders. Cara Morgan was a psychology major, and is currently a mental health therapist. Rhian Morgan majored in community health, and works in insurance.
They auditioned for season two of "American Idol," and have performed at a Buffalo Bills game. The identical twins hope to pursue music full time.
