Nina Sky is a Puerto Rican-born musical duo based in the United States, consisting of identical twins Nicole and Natalie Albino.
[6] In 2003, The Jettsonz (Elijah Wells & Lionel Bermingham) introduced the girls to Cipha Sounds, a hip hop DJ under the Star Trak label owned by the Neptunes (Pharrell and Chad Hugo).
Cipha Sounds was impressed when he heard the duo sing and suggested that they use the "Coolie Dance" riddim.
The duo then proceeded to write "Move Ya Body" (alongside the Jettsonz Elijah Wells & Lionel Bermingham, who also produced the record), mixing Caribbean, R&B, and pop rhythms.
The demo fell into the hands of Eddie O'Loughlin, the president of Next Plateau Entertainment (which is a division of Universal Records).
They have contributed to the reggaeton movement with songs such as "Oye Mi Canto", and "Más Maíz" with artist and producer N.O.R.E.
Producers include Stereotypes, Bruno & Phil, Neo da Matrix, Ryan Leslie, Salaam Remi, and more.
In late 2007, Nina Sky left their label, Universal, and signed with Polo Grounds Music/J Records.
Holiday's "Bed", Elliott Yamin's "Wait for You", Cassidy's "My Drink n My 2 Step", and The-Dream's "I Love Your Girl".
They have also worked with Brooklyn MC Red Cafe on his street album The Co-Op, and The Alchemist on his song "Key to the City".
In 2008, Nina Sky released two singles, from Starting Today: "Curtain Call" (featuring Rick Ross) and "On Some Bulls**t"; both were not a big success.
[11] With a new masculine style, the duo independently released an eight-song EP for digital download in August 2010, entitled The Other Side, which features production from DJ Yonny, Salaam Remi, Kidz in the Hall and many more.
[13] On February 2, 2012, Nina Sky released the lead single from their upcoming third studio album, Nicole and Natalie.
On June 9, 2012, Nina Sky performed at OUT/LOUD Queer Women's Music Festival in Eugene, Oregon along with artists such as Krudas Cubensi, Tender Forever and Andrea Gibson.
Later, on November 15, Nina Sky hosted Women in Business' fourth annual "Dress for Success" fashion show at Baruch College.
On March 11, 2013, group released their sixth mixtape, titled Valentine's Day, hosted by Miss KL.
[17] After finishing their European Tour in May 2015, on June 2, their Vito Fun and Spaceplant-produced electropop single titled "Forever" was released.
"Spaceplant finessed the verses with a modern '90s freestyle beat pattern and built up the hook just enough that the song still has its original sweet vibe but if you drop it at the right time in a club, it will still go off!"
