Twiins (presented as TWiiNS) is a Slovak pop music duo consisting of twin sisters Daniela and Veronika Nízlová, born on 15 May 1986 in Hronský Beňadik. They represented Slovakia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with their entry "I'm Still Alive".
Career
Daniela and Veronika launched their musical journey in 1996 at the age of 10 by participating in the children's singing competition "Hviezdička" under the name Tweens, a suggestion made by poet and lyricist Daniel Hevier. In 2008, they adopted the new stage name Twiins.
They supported Czech singer Tereza Kerndlová as backing vocalists and dancers during her performance at Eurovision 2008. In January 2010, they released a rendition of "Boys (Summertime Love)" titled Boys, Boys, Boys, which featured rapper Carlprit.
At the Eurovision Song Contest 2011, Twiins performed "I'm Still Alive," a track co-written and produced by Bryan Todd. Although they did not advance to the final round, their placement marked Slovakia's most successful outcome since their re-entry in 2009. The single reached number 18 on the Slovak charts.
In 2012, Twiins collaborated with Flo Rida on the single "One Night Stand," and they performed together in locations including Germany and Miami.
The duo graced the cover of the Slovak edition of Playboy magazine in 2014. Later, in 2018, they took part in the reality television show Farma broadcast on the Markíza network.
Personal life
Both sisters are mothers: Daniela's daughter Linda was born in 2020 with footballer Stanislav Lobotka, while Veronika's daughter Nea arrived in 2022 with actor Matúš Kolárovský as her father. Up until 2024, the twins resided together in Tlmače, but due to disagreements involving their children, Daniela moved to Trenčín.
