Biography

Sibling harmonies were first heard from Kalina & Kiana while they were still buckled into their car seats. School talent shows and experimentation with different instruments eventually landed Kalina on piano and Kiana settled in on guitar.

In 2007, they formed an all-girl band called “The Raymies.” Kalina & Kiana were the lead singers and discovered songwriting at 11 and 13 years old. They led The Raymies for three years, as they gained studio and stage experience all over the country, with more than 100 live performances.

With the help of Brillstein Entertainment, John Stamos co-wrote and produced a television pilot for Disney that was intended to be a launching platform for the young band. Disney was seeking a show to fill the void that would be left after the final season of “Hannah Montana.” All four major record labels were bidding for The Raymies and their music.

When Disney only wanted Kalina & Kiana for the project, and asked to recast the other girls, the deal was scrapped in an effort to keep the band together and preserve friendships. Other members of the group never fully recovered from these challenges and within a few months, The Raymies imploded.

Kalina and Kiana dove deep into songwriting and had songs placed in various projects. A year after the breakup, the sisters spent time in Europe, working on another musical television project where they were offered the lead roles. The travel was inspiring, but the development process was extremely slow. While under contract, the girls started a pet project under the alias of “Rocky’s Revival”, (voted Best Indie Band in Orange County).

As Rocky’s Revival gained momentum, the sisters were faced their greatest challenge to date - Kalina spent most of 2014 in and out of chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. (She is now in complete remission!) Many songs were written during the cancer treatments and they coined the phrase “gigs with wigs,” as Rocky’s Revival opened for groups like The Bangles and Justin Bieber during this challenging season.

What didn’t break them, made them stronger. The girls continue to write for other people and projects, including: Zag Animation’s “The Miraculous Tales Of Ladybug and Cat Noir.”

The European project finally began production in 2016. Kalina & Kiana passed on the lead roles, but have made guest appearances and continue to write songs for “Maggie & Bianca Fashion Friends”, which can currently be seen on Netflix.

No longer contractually bound, the girls were able to step out of Rocky’s Revival, as Kalina & Kiana. The focus is pop…“Poetic Pop.”

Their high energy lives shows feature musical hooks with lyrics that you’ll be singing by the second chorus. The girls wear their influences on their sleeves, including everything from The Beatles to Broods. Kalina and Kiana are music to the ears and easy on the eyes.
