Born and raised in a musically inclined family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Chauntee and Monique discovered their love for music at a young age. Despite the social imprinting that told them string instruments were within the purview of white people only, they embarked on a remarkable journey, fusing their classical training with their deep-rooted love for R&B, hip-hop, and gospel.
In one performance, SistaStrings can cover a classical arrangement, create a mashup of pop songs, and spin their own genre defying originals. This fluidity and sheer talent has secured them spots in Brandi Carlile’s touring band, as well as supporting Ed Sheeran, Maggie Rogers, Margo Price, Allison Russell and Jason Isbell.
Recently appearing with the legendary Joni Mitchell at the Grammy Awards, Andrea Bocelli at the 2024 Oscars and with Elton John, Annie Lennox, Garth Brooks, and Charlie Puth at The 2024 Gershwin Honors. In September, they took home the title of “best instrumentalist” for the Americana Music Association's 2023 honors. Their eagerly anticipated debut record, produced by friend and collaborator Brandi Carlile, is in the works.
