Individually accomplished artists, their union both in marriage and music has elevated them to new heights of acclaim.
Known for their mesmerizing harmonies often dubbed “baby-making,” Tanya and Michael’s performances are infused with their genuine love for each other.
Michael’s journey to music involved a stint in the Army during the Iraq War, where he found solace in playing piano on Saddam Hussein’s own instrument.
Tanya, on the other hand, had already made her mark with her solo album “Natural Thing” in the ’90s, featuring the chart-topper “Through the Rain.”
