Sister2Sister or S2S were an Australian duo comprising the Muscat sisters, Christine and Sharon, who were pop singers, songwriters and television presenters. Their debut album, One, peaked at No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart. It provided two top five singles, "Sister" and "What's a Girl to Do?". At the ARIA Music Awards of 2000 "Sister" won Best Independent Release. From 2001 they undertook a career as television presenters, as VJs on MTV Hits, and subsequently opened the Sister2Sister School of Singing in 2004.
Background
The Muscat sisters, Christine and Sharon, 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 SpiritPrimary 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.
Musical career
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. The duo also opened for Britney Spears for 6 dates on her Oops!... I Did It Again Tour in the US.
The ARIA Music Awards is an annual awards ceremony that recognises excellence, innovation, and achievement across all genres of Australian music. Sister2Sister won 1 award from 2 nominations.
The sisters have performed as backing vocalists for Australian singer Delta Goodrem on her "Believe Again" and "Wings of the Wild" tours.
Television career
After touring extensively through the US, 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 VJs on MTV's Australian Top 30 for 18 months.
Singing school
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.
