When people think of twins, they are picturing two persons or things closely resembling each other almost to the point of non-distinction. For the last several years, there have been numerous twins in the music industry, as copycat groups and styles have run rampant. Individuality and creativity have taken a back seat to money and industry-defined standards and images.

But what happens when the on the scene, appears a group that cannot be defined or detained, embodying shear musical talent and ability? Not the Twin, whose musical sound would mostly closely be associated with alternative rock, are poised to refresh the music industry by bringing uniqueness, originality and true vision back to music. Comprised of sisters Crystal and ChieStine (pronounced Sh-steen), Not the Twin will return music back to its rightful owners, the true music lovers. With both sisters having musical backgrounds that span classical, jazz, hip hop, R&B and rock, over more than 20 years, they were able to combine their varying musical and personal experiences into an album that not only entertains but teaches life lessons.

Named “Not the Twin” because their music is not an assimilation of the current industry’s sound and style, they have been gaining attention from music lovers across genres. Inspired by risk taking artists such as Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Alanis Morissette, Tupac Shakur, Madonna, and James Brown, Not the Twin has a progressive style that infuses all genres of music into one exclusive sound.

Gone is the time when true, die-hard lovers of rock music are required to epitomize only rock legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin or Aerosmith, because today’s generation of rock bands have not been challenged enough to do the unusual and take their music to another level. No longer must there be a line drawn between rock and roll, R&B, pop and hip hop, as Not the Twin does not abide by industry lines, rules or standards. When Not the Twin is on the scene, the cookie cutter image of rock and female artists will begin to crumble.

Creative, bold, sassy, sexy, fun, what you wanted to say and what you hoped you didn’t. Not the Twin is unlike anything you have set your ears on, but once you listen, you will never want to hear the “same ole same ole” again. Not what you have heard. Not what you have seen and not what you think they should be. These sisters undoubtedly live up to the name, Not the Twin.
