Twayn wrote ‘Spine’ in November 2024 and first played it live opening for Jools Holland in Newcastle the next month. The applause you can hear in the intro is from that first live performance. The song is about that messy moment of realising a situationship isn’t right, with guilt and confusion at its core. The girls spent a week at Blank Studios with Josh Ingledew shaping it into the lead single for their upcoming EP, Sadness Is My Sanctuary. The duo have been gigging non-stop, building hype, and have just announced they will be supporting Jools Holland on his Winter Tour later this year. They will be playing in Bristol, Manchester, Cardiff (their first arena) and the prolific Royal Albert Hall in London.

Twayn are twins, Hannah and Grace, who were born and raised in the North East of England.  They have always loved music and Grace has been song writing since she could string words together!  They have sung in choirs and played piano since primary school.  Grace’s passion has always been singing and her voice is classically trained, though pop is where her heart is.  At the beginning of the Covid pandemic the girls received a keyboard and started recording their own music as a lockdown project.  Hannah focussed her attention on instrumentation and production, which she taught herself from scratch, also providing backing vocals to Grace’s lyrics and lead vocals.  At the time, this was more of a solo venture for Grace, supported by her twin.  By the end of summer 2021, then still only 16, the single “sweet 16”, was debuted under the name GRACE, hotly followed by an EP, “pity party”, which centred around the challenges faced around friendships, relationships, and peer pressures.

At the end of 2021 the twins decided to formalise working together and the duo, Twayn, was created (@twayntwins). “What Dreams Are Made Of”, their debut single singing together under the name Twayn, was launched in January 2021.
