What do you get when you combine the energy of the dirty south’s bounce sound, the hook-laden sensibility of pop-tinged R&B, and a classic lyrical approach to hip hop? You get a refreshing new sound. You get TWISE!Band/artist history
One look at these beautiful ladies and one wouldn’t expect the kind of street edge they bring to R&B, let alone be able to tell that one is a singer and one a rapper. Energetic, attractive, trend setting & stylish, are all words that describe TWISE. But one word sums up what TWISE isReady! These girls are ready to make their mark on the minds and hearts of a generation and take their expression to a new level.
"TWISE was created out of necessity," says Terence "Tramp-Baby" Abney Producer and label head for the group. "I missed the fun approach and social impact that acts like TLC and Salt & Pepa offered to hip hop music, TWISE revisits that in a unique way, they have a lot to offer the world through their music". So after producing and writing for multi platinum superstars like PINK, Luther Vandross, Donell Jones, Fat Joe and Salt (of Salt & Pepa) TWISE was formed by his partner and co-writer Precise. In the summer of 2001 Universal Records released "UH-UHH", TWISE’s first commercial single, a Miami Bass meets R&B scorcher that set turntables on fire and burned up crossover radio. Performing at station sponsored events helped to solidify a presence on the airwaves across the country for the duo. Now returning with their follow up single "Bounce" an ode to the custom auto lifestyle (they own a convertible 1970 Cadillac Coup Deville) and their bass heavy PAID Music debut "THINK-TWISE". TWISE is prepared to bring some fun back to hip hop and push the known boundaries of R&B. Songs like the southern bounce meets rock tinged flavor of Superstar and the back and forth melodic wordplay of the albums title track Think-Twise do just that. Sexy additions like Un-wrapped and the teeming on electronic Fly Girl certainly make a case for pushing the envelope. Then there's the personal and emotionally caressing Questions. "It's a song about coming to terms and dealing with Depression. The question is what happened to the vibrant and full of life girl I used to be" Says Tika "and how do I get back to her?" It’s a powerful song and a very real question for many people. TWISE’s music exudes independence, self esteem and respect.
It is common practice to compare hot female groups to each other, but with this group’s new look of a singer and a rapper. Paired with statuesque looks, hot chocolate complexions and sexy attitudes. TWISE will remain set apart from the rest, and most definitely have you THINK TWISE!!Have you performed in front of an audience?we have had shows all over the country, our favorite show was for radio station KLUC at a water park in las vegas nevada
Your musical influences
Many elements influence the direction of this sexy duo’s music, including the high energy of a classic hip hop performance, the issue tackling sincerity of TLC, and the block party ready vibe of Salt & Pepa. the southern bounce sound of hitmakers like timbaland, missy elliot, and ludacrisWhat equipment do you use?

TWISE has been making their rounds in the music, modeling & commercial industries, and collectively these New Yorkers by way Of North and South Carolina have been very active.
TIKA the sexy voiced vocalist of the duo can be seen and heard in commercials for Liz Claiborne and Pontiac and the popular "TRUTH" anti-smoking PSA's. She was featured in Redman & Method man’s "PART 2" video from the How High motion picture soundtrack and currently has a Joe Boxer print ad running.
PRECISE the sharp tongued, sassy rapper of the duo can be heard on Warner Brothers Records artist JAHIEM’s platinum plus "Ghetto Love" album and on R&B crooner Luther Vandross’s "Nights in Harlem" & "Get it Right" on the platinum selling "I Know" album. Top that off with touring with the R&B legend, and numerous features on re-mixes and cuts with among others Arista Record’s Donell Jones and Castro.
