Sister2Sister are multi-platinum selling Maltese-Australian singers, songwriters and television presenters, who are sisters.
The Muscat sisters, Christine (born February 27, 1981) and Sharon (born August 23, 1984) (to Maltese immigrants), are the duo that make up Sister2Sister. Their career started young when they grew up in the Sydney suburb of St. Clair, where they attended Holy Spirit Primary school and later Emmaus Catholic College in nearby Erskine Park.
Growing up in a musical family, it was during those early years that the two developed a love for music. However, they also had a knack for acting, which resulted in both of them television presenting and landing roles in TV commercials and soap operas.
At the ages of 9 and 13, Christine and Sharon joined Brent Street Studios to also study dancing. Soon after joining the school, the girls were invited to join the Brent St Kids performance troupe and began singing and dancing all over Sydney. It was through this exposure that they attracted the attention of Tina Arena who saw their performance at the Variety Club Heart Awards. Arena mentioned the girls to her now former manager/husband. He later signed them to his management company and new record label in 1997. After relocating to Melbourne to write their first album, the name Sister2Sister was born. It was at this time Sharon also studied at the Victorian College of Arts.
After touring extensively through the U.S., UK and Europe, Sharon and Christine returned home to Sydney and decided to turn back to a previous passion and re-enter the world of television. They were VJ's on MTV's Australian Top 30 for 18 months.
Although the two still perform together, they have been keeping busy these days with the launching of their Sister2Sister School Of Singing in Castle Hill, New South Wales, Australia, which opened in 2004. Students receive one-on-one vocal tuition, group classes, dance classes, guitar lessons, piano lessons, songwriting workshops and performance and microphone technique classes.
In 2006, students of the Sister2Sister School of Singing achieved Highly Commended status at the established McDonald Performing Arts Challenge Eistedfod. Christine and Sharon, as directors of the Sister2Sister School of Singing were recognised in the following prestigious business awards for 2006.
-The Hills Excellence in Business Awards ‘Young Entrepreneurs of the Year’
