Sister2Sister (also known as S2S) is a pop duo from Australia, consisting of sisters Christine and Sharon Muscat, who are also recognized as songwriters and television hosts. Their first album, One, released in June 2000, climbed to No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart and included two singles that reached the top five: "Sister" (1999) and "What's a Girl to Do?" (2000). At the ARIA Music Awards of 2000, the track "Sister" earned the award for Best Independent Release. Beginning in 2001, they broadened their careers into television by becoming VJs on MTV Hits. In 2004, they founded the Sister2Sister School of Singing. Additionally, they have provided backing vocals for Australian singer Delta Goodrem during her tours.
Background
Christine Muscat was born on 27 February 1981, and her sister Sharon on 23 August 1984. Both are daughters of Maltese immigrants and were raised in the Sydney suburb of St. Clair. Their education included Holy Spirit Primary School followed by Emmaus Catholic College located in Erskine Park.
Growing up in a family with a strong musical influence, the sisters showed early enthusiasm for music and acting, which led them to take part in television commercials and soap operas. At ages nine and thirteen respectively, they enrolled at Brent Street Studios for dance lessons and performed with the Brent St. Kids group throughout Sydney. Their talents caught the eye of Tina Arena at the Variety Club Heart Awards, who referred them to her former manager. This connection resulted in their signing with his management company and record label in 1997.

Sister2Sister also had the opportunity to support Britney Spears on six shows during her Oops!... I Did It Again Tour across the United States.
