Sisterly sibling duo Vika and Linda aka Vika Susan Bull (born 1966 in Doncaster, Melbourne, Australia) and Linda Rose Bull – also known as Vika and Linda Bull – began their career in 1988 as backing vocalists for Joe Camilleri's blues rockers The Black Sorrows. After a six-year stint and a Top 10 ARIA Chart album, the pair left to pursue their own music career as Vika and Linda and released their debut self-titled album in June 1994. The album went to number 7 on the Australian ARIA Charts in June 1994 and featured an all-star guest cast of Australian songwriters, including Paul Kelly. Vika and Linda Bull blended their mother's Tongan heritage with the Australian heritage of their Melbourne-born father for their second studio album, Princess Tabu (1996), which was created following a trip to Tonga to meet the nation's monarch, King Taufa'ahu Tupou and featured some of the Polynesian kingdom's leading musicians, including the Mosi Mosi Kava Club. The sisters went down the spiritual route for third album Two Wings (1999), which was nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2000. The sisters released another nine albums over the next two decades, including their second live album, Tell the Angels, in 2004 and their first greatest hits album, Akilotoa: Anthology (1994-2006), in 2020. 2021 saw the release of their first new music in 19 years, seventh studio album The Wait, which included tracks written by Bernard Fanning, Don Walker, Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers and more, and shot to Number 2 on the ARIA Charts.
