The Musical - Nina Sky

The Musical (October 2008) - Nina Sky

“The Musical” aims to keep Nina Sky listeners in tune with the duo's journey since their first album. It takes just one listen to their new album—a savvy mix of R&B songs heavily influenced by hip-hop, classic rock and soul supported by intriguing, ethereal vocals—to understand why Polo Grounds/J Records signed the twin team. Besides arranging vocals, Nicole and Natalie penned each track on the album, at times testing their work of art on eager audiences before it was officially ready.
Nicole and Natalie Albino (born March 13, 1986) are identical twin sisters who sing under the stage name "Nina Sky". Their parents moved to New York from Puerto Rico and were divorced when the girls were younger. They were born in Queens and grew up in both Queens and Roosevelt Island sections of New York. Because their stepfather worked as a DJ, the twins were influenced by different types of music. When the sisters were only 7 years old, they wrote their first song, "Sisters", and by the time they were 10, they already knew that they wanted to become singers. The twins' parents were very supportive of their daughters' ambitions. Their stepfather even gave them guitar and drum lessons. They were taken to auditions and, on some occasions, they even performed on some showcases. The sisters wanted to devise a name of their own. In using the first two syllables of their names ("Ni" and "Na"), they came up with Nina. They then added Sky, which for them represented "the sky's the limit".
They continued to go to school and, in their spare time, worked as DJs. In the year 2000, they met The Jettsonz (Elijah Wells and Lionel Bermingham), a pair of music producers who helped them develop their own sound.
