Miriam and Olivia began their careers as models in Australia with the Chadwick Models Agency. They were also Ambassadors to the L'Oreal Fashion Festival. By the age of 16, the duo had made a name for themselves on the modelling scene, but decided to pursue music.

At the age of 18, a Melbourne-based music producer asked the twins to sing some of his demo songs. They subsequently signed to Sony/ATV Music Publishing and embarked on a successful songwriting career.
The sisters began receiving recognition when they wrote "Negotiate with Love" for British pop singer, Rachel Stevens, which reached number ten in 2006.

Bravo!"
