TWiiNS is a Slovakian pop duo consisting of twin sisters Daniela Nízlová and Veronika Nízlová who were born on May 15 1986. They represent Slovakia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with their song, “I’m Still Alive”. The twins were background singers and dancers for Tereza Kerndlová, the Czech entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008.
They started to sing earlier than they started to speak. They attended the same schools and had a shared dream of becoming an international pop duet. At the completion of secondary school, the girls decided to attend Comenius University of Management. This move would help them manage their prospective music careers and both graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in management.
Shortly after completing school in 2000, the pop sensations were scouted by a major Slovakian record label that went on to offer them a recording deal. The TWiiNS formed a joint venture and released four albums for which they were awarded three Golden and one Platinum record.
The girls went on to host their own TV show “Hitbox” for four years on TV Markiza. In the meantime they also made their acting debut playing leading roles as Tereza in the musical “Rebelove” showcased in Prague’s Broadway Theatre and in Bratislava as well.
After taking some time off from recording, the TWiiNS returned to the studio in April 2008 where they teamed up with noted American producer Jimmy Douglass. Jimmy Douglass is well known for his work with Timbaland, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, and many more.
