  CocoRosie biography
CocoRosie is an American experimental folk duo. The sisters Sierra Rose Casady and Bianca Lailani Casady combine folk with electronica and hiphop, using all instruments they bump into, toys included. 

The sisters got nicknamed Coco and Rosie at a young age by their mother. This is where the name CocoRosie derives from.

During their childhood the sisters had been living all over America and lost track of each other during their teens. Sierra ended up in Paris to become an opera singer and Bianca lived in Brooklyn. In 2003 Bianca paid an unannounced visit to Sierra in Paris. Ever since the two are inseparable.

Within two months they recorded the CocoRosie debut album ‘La Maison De Mon Reve’, which was released in 2004. The next year ‘Noah’s Ark’ followed and in 2007 ‘The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn’. Since that time, the band has been touring all over the world.
