The duo—sisters Tal & Acacia—grew up in Portland, Maine, in a decidedly Christian household and attended an inner-city school their parents ran for underprivileged youth.

After returning from Russia, the sisters developed a stronger sense of the world during separate collegiate pursuits in opposite regions of North America.
