Twin sisters Mihaela and Gabriela Modorcea, professionally known as Indiggo or Indiggo Twins, are a Romanian-American singing-songwriting duo signed with Imagem since 2011. Additionally, the twins are reality television personalities, professional actresses, writers, and composers.
A vocal sample of their single "La La La" has been featured on American rappers Kanye West and Jay-Z's studio album, Watch the Throne (2011), while fellow releases "Hip Hop Jam" (2003) and "Be My Boyfriend" (2006) experienced commercial success in Germanic territories. Their signing with international music label Imagem consists of a worldwide, multi-year publishing/grand rights deal. In 2006, they competed to represent Romania at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing 7th out of 12 songs in the National Final. In 2008, they qualified for the top-40 semi-finals on Season 3 of America's Got Talent.
The twin sisters are from Brașov, Transylvania, Romania. Mihaela is five minutes older than Gabriela.
The twins' father is Grid Modorcea, a writer, author and filmmaker, and their mother is Violeta Modorcea, who, in 2006, was Indiggo's manager.
The twins began studying piano and dance at the age of six. Later, the sisters graduated from the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Bucharest, and studied acting in Germany and New York.
The Modorceas became American citizens in October 2013 and performed The Star-Spangled Banner at the ceremony accompanying the taking of their oath.
Discogs reported that they cut the CD album Indiggo (MediaPRO Music, 2000) which spanned several hit singles such as "Nu-mi pasa," "Clar de luna," "Am eu grija de mine," and also the CD Maxi "Hip Hop Jam" (BROS Music, 2006) and the CD single "Be My Boyfriend" (Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Ariola, 2006) produced by Germany's pop-titan Dieter Bohlen.
