Sweet Rush

"Life is like a rainbow, it all just depends on how you want to paint it" With that in mind, the singer/songwriter, sister duo Sweet Rush were on their way. Born in Mogadishu Somalia, Siham and Iman Hashi are the first female Somali artists to sign a major American record deal. After the civil war broke out in Somalia, the girls and their family moved to Toronto, Canada as refugees. Raised in Toronto these sisters were subjected to an environment, in which at times was very discouraging. Their dreams of becoming singers were often shot down because it was frowned upon in their culture.
