EriAm Sisters
The Eriam Sisters (Eritrean American Sisters) is a music group who became known after their appearance on America's Got Talent 2009. There, they sang Michael Jackson's song "I Want You Back" which aired just a day before he died. The sisters were seen as the next Destiny's Child by the judges of America Got Talent. Specially Piers Morgan was very excited and told the girls "you are the future". He said this after the girls performed the song "crazy in love" by Beyonce.
Although their name was known mainly because of America's Got Talent show, the girls were performing for years together. Some of the songs they recorded when Haben was only 8 years old. These songs are found on Reverbnation site.
The released a couple original songs, including "BFF" and "Diary". The song "Diary" is written by the 12 year old member (Haben Abraham) and made it to number one on Hot Radio 105.7 for 5 weeks. The song apparently was not formally released but leaked to radio stations. Without any promotional effort the song couldn't keep the momentum and dropped off the radio chart after 9 weeks. They also wrote a song called "No more" about sisterhood love which was widely seen as an indication of the love the girls have for each other.
Seattle Theater Group featured the girls as the best young artist of the year 2009 and Mayor Denis Low handed the girls a key to the city for their extraordinary contribution to music at such a young age. They are also admired for their contribution to support many local charity organizations. In 2010 the sisters received another award from the king county executives for excellence in music".
Haben's talent was discovered by her school music teacher, and the musical abilities of her two older sisters were noticed shortly after that. The sisters are not signed by a label but have a large number of fans on YouTube and MySpace. They have performed at Disney World and on The Maury Povich "Most Talented Kids" Show.
Their song Diary which has been playing in Alabama on Radio 105.7 has been number #1 on the play list for 4 weeks. The EriAm Sisters first major concert was in Montgomery (Alabama) on May 28 at the Jubilee festival. The EriAm Sisters also released a rendition of "I want you back" on Aug 29/2011 under the label KingdomGate Music Group.
