The Veronicas

Jess
and Lisa Origliasso are not your regular teenaged sisters. Born
on Christmas Day, the Australian identical twins, who make up
the duo The Veronicas, describe themselves as being two different
people with different approaches to things. Their first album,
The Secret Life of the Veronicas, is rocking the music
industry. The Veronicas have a notso- typical style (a harmonic
mixture of rock, pop, hip hop, and R&B) on their premiere
CD, with songs both written and produced by the pair.
According to the girls, the best part of the music industry is
the travel, although it’s not all glamour, they clarify,
and it’s not always about the music. “At the end of
the day, all that matters is that you’re passionate and
loving what you’re doing,” says Jess.
Exposed to the entertainment biz for over 15 years (they grew
up around their dad’s band), the 20-year-old twins consider
the stage their second home. “From the age of five, we just
loved it, kept doing it, and we just fell in love with it,”
explains Lisa. “It’s always been our passion.”
The band: The Veronicas, Australian twins rocking
teenagers around the globe.
Right now: Their first CD, The Secret Life
of the Veronicas, and a US tour.
