For a budding music artist, YouTube has proven to be a very good tool. As seen by the success of musicians Colbie Caillat and Marie Digby, using the internet to market their talents has reached consciousness in a global scale.
In the local scene, there's Arnel Pineda, a longtime singer of bands who was discovered in the popular site when legendary American band Journey was looking to fill in their vacant post in handling lead vocals.
And then there's Krissy and Ericka.
Dishing out fresh music, teen sisters Regine Kristine (Krissy) and Ericka Renee Villongco (Ericka) started out early as they found support from family and friends. Once they began posting video clips of their live performances, a fan base steadily grew until finally MCA Music took notice of their remarkable talents.
Their self-titled debut album has ten tracks of both memorable original hooks and established known hits from established musicians. From the opening track "Up Up Down Down" which is their carrier single, the recognition of their vocal harmonies is already felt. The cover "Baby now that I've found you" comes after, followed by "Game of Love."
Their songwriting chops come in full display here with the songs "Hope for Humanity" and "Surf's Up", with the latter interestingly written soon after their school examinations were over, and the former created with the conviction that the "youth can make a difference".
Other cuts worth noting include The Corrs' huge single "Runaway", a rendition of "Don't Say You Love Me" which is also their personal favorite, the Marcus Davis penned "Sisters" and "Tomorrow", which was arranged by popular jazz singer Richard Poon.
Poised to become the next big thing in the music industry, Krissy and Ericka is the pop-teen duo that is surely to watch.
