Bio:

Natalie and Nicole Albino (born March 13, 1986 in Queens, New York) are identical twin sisters who sing under the name "Nina Sky".

Their parents moved to New York from Puerto Rico and were divorced when the girls were younger. The twin's mother began a new relationship with a man Who was also a DJ and of Dominican descent. They grew up in the Queens and Roosevelt Island sections of New York.
Because their stepfather worked as a DJ, the twins were influenced by different types of music. When the sisters were only 7 years old, they wrote their first song, "Sisters", and by the time they were 10, they already knew that they wanted to become singers.

The twins' parents were very supportive of their daughters' ambitions. Their stepfather even gave them guitar and drum lessons. They were taken to auditions and, on some occasions, they even performed on some showcases. The sisters wanted to devise a name of their own. In using the first two syllables of their names ("Ni" and "Na"), they came up with Nina. They then added Sky, which for them represented "the sky's the limit".

They continued to go to school and, in their spare time, worked as DJs. In the year 2000, they met The Jettsonz (Elijah Wells and Lionel Bermingham), a pair of music producers who helped them develop their own sound.
In 2004, their single "Move Ya Body" was released and reached number 17 on the hit charts. Urban music and rhythmic top 40 stations quickly added the song to their play lists, sending the song up the charts. By July 17, "Move Ya Body" had gone to the top 5 on both sides of the Atlantic and had also reached the top 5 of a world combined r&b chart based on the US, UK, Germany, France and Australia. The song had also reached the top 50 of the Australian charts.

On June 29, 2004 they released their first, self-titled, album, featuring Betty Wright.
The twins, Natalie and Nicole continue to work and promote their music. They have contributed greatly to the reggaeton movement with songs such as "Oye Mi Canto", and "Mas Maiz" with artist and producer N.O.R.E.. Their album "La Conexión" is a mixtape album that features collaborations with Ivy Queen, Aventura, Tony Touch, Yaga y Mackie, Pitbull and production from Mysto & Pizzi, and The Jettsonz.
