Coincidences with 3T!

We finally got some of the photos from the photo shoot Taj took of us, as you can see above!
Speaking of Taj Jackson, we'll now explain to you a little bit on how we met and started collaborating together.
When our first album was first released in France, one of the songs was a duet with the music group 3T (the brothers Taj, TJ and Taryll Jackson). It was a cover from the famous group Chicago called "If You Leave Me Now". That's when we met!

Then all the strange coincidences came up:

  • We don't need to start by saying that they are three brothers and we are three sisters, right?
  • Also, all their names start with T, just like ours.
  • Two right handed and one left handed, just like us.
  • Their music group name "3T" was created by their mom, just like "T-Rio" was created by our mom.
  • Both our dads play guitar.
  • With 3T there's a 2 year difference between the first and the second child, and with us it's 2 minutes. Then, there's a 3 year difference between the second and the third child, while with us it's 3 minutes. Finally, there's a 5 year gap between the first and the last born, and a 5 minute gap for us.
  • They had a dog exactly the same age and breed as ours (for our sadness, both already passed away, but hopefully they are having fun together somewhere now)
  • The six of us have Latin origins and happen to be in the music business.

Since then a great friendship has grown in between us.
Today we are co-producing our new album together with Taj and have very similar tastes for everything, which make us very happy and glad to collaborate with him!

Coincidences with Allee Willis!


Two weeks ago we met a great personality/songwriter in the music business, Allee Willis. We visited her at her very happy, positive, and fun house. When we first got there, she gave us a nice tour of her home. It was amazing and we didn't know where to focus. Every corner was full of treasures, history, design... and candy (hmmm)... We started talking and it was funny how many coincidences we shared with her. The most incredible one was that we all have the same birthday!!! From that moment on, we were sure we would write music together. Allee's nickname is also the same as one of us and her favorite color is the same as another one of us. When we were talking to her about music, we also realized that our musical taste were very similar. It was incredible when we discovered that she is friends with a huge Brazilian singer/songwriter, Zelia Duncan(who we really enjoy).
Next week we'll see Allee again and we are very excited with this colaboration. Of course we already knew and loved her songwriting work from before! We can't wait to hear the results from our work together!!!
Now, believe it or not, it's not the first time a coincidence like this has happened to us. It also happened when we met the music group 3T. But we'll tell you all more about that in another opportunity.
Have you ever had coincidences like this with someone? Let us know...
