The Veronicas are a rock band from Brisbane, Australia, formed in 1999 by twin sisters, Jessica and Lisa Origliasso. In addition to music, the sisters market their own line of clothing which debuted in 2007.
In 2005, The Veronicas released their first studio album entitled The Secret Life of... which peaked at #2 on the Australian charts and gained an Australian ARIA certification of 4x platinum for 280,000+ sales. In total, the album spawned five singles, three of which were top ten singles in Australia.
In 2007, the duo released their second studio album, Hook Me Up, which also peaked at #2 on the Australian charts and earned an Australian ARIA certification of 2x platinum for 140,000+ sales. To date, the album has garnered four Australian top ten singles. The album's title track, "Hook Me Up", was The Veronicas' first #1 single in Australia.
In 2004, Lisa Origliasso and Jessica Origliasso were introduced to the Music Director of The Bell Hughes Music Group (BHMG), Hayden Bell. After producing some demo recordings with the twins, Bell invited them to sign a publishing agreement with Excalibur Productions (a subsidiary of BHMG). In the process, Bell helped facilitate their progression in musical style from acoustic pop to the more rhythmic rock pop approach that is now their trademark. On the strength of these demos, Bell took them to meet the executives at Engine Room (a subsidiary of PBL (Packer) Group) and they were immediately signed to a production deal. To further develop their song writing skills, Bell connected them with several internationally acclaimed songwriters and producers including Clif Magness (who has written with Avril Lavigne), Billy Steinberg (Madonna, Cyndi Lauper), Max Martin (Britney Spears, Katy Perry, P!nk), Eric Nova, Dead Mono and Vince DeGiorgio, where they created a catalogue of over 50 songs.
NB Ridaz is a hip hop group formerly known as NBK (Nastyboy Klick).
The group released several successful singles as Nastyboy Klick in the late 1990s, including "Down for Yours" (1997, U.S. Billboard Hot 100 peak #69) and "Lost in Love" (1998, #53).
Their debut album "Invasion" was released in 2001 and reached independent charts. The first single from the album, “Runaway” scraped into the Billboard Hot 100, and made the Rhythmic Top 40 along with “I Wanna Love-U”. Their second album NBridaz.com made the Hip-Hop, Heatseeker and independent charts. “So Fly” broke into the lower reaches of the Billboard Hot 100, and charted on the Rap, R&B and Rhythmic Top 40 charts. “Notice Me” also breached the bottom of the Billboard Hot 100, receiving more airplay than previous tracks. “Pretty Girl” also charted on the Billboard Rhythmic, R&B and Rap charts as well.
The Lyrics of Pretty Girl, Forever, Wishing On A Star, Best Friends and a various other tracks were written by twelve year old Leonel Tissera and 11 year old Joseph Soto. Soto and Tisseras' creative works eventually caught the attention of the group. After the groups popularity increase, Soto and Tisseras' lyrics became some of the most popular songs performed by the NB Ridaz.
