Vika and Linda Bull enter ARIA Hall of Fame after four decades
Vika and Linda Bull were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame after four decades as recording artists.
Vika and Linda Bull, Australian-Tongan siblings and OAM recipients, have been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. Vika and Linda's career began in the late 1980s as backing singers for The Black Sorrows, providing the distinctive harmonies on hits like Chained To The Wheel.
By 1994, they stepped out on their own, encouraged by Paul Kelly to write songs. Kelly spent a year mentoring them through Thursday afternoon writing sessions for their debut album, which became a platinum seller with breakout hit When Will You Fall For Me.
Their latest album, Where Do You Come From?, explores childhood racism and their own stories, showing their confidence at this stage of life.
