Miranda Chartrand (born 3 May 1990) and Adam Nichols (born 10 September 1991) are a musical . They met and began working together through the BBC television series Chartjackers, which was challenging the online community to write, record and release a pop song through crowdsourcing in ten weeks. After initially auditioning through separate YouTube videos, Chartrand and Nichols then successfully auditioned in person to provide vocals on the single. They recorded the song, entitled "I've Got Nothing", at the University of Wales in Newport, South Wales on 7 October 2009. The single was given a worldwide release on 9 November through the iTunes Store, and went on to peak at number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.
Chartrand was born on 3 May 1990, and was raised in Guelph, Ontario. She studied at the John F. Ross Collegiate Vocational Institute, where she played on the open girls' rugby team until 2009.

She worked as a camp counselor at Camp Manitou in 2009 and 2010 and has also worked in Toronto. In 2009, Chartrand moved to Stroud, Gloucestershire, to work as an au pair.
