ALLYDICE is a Mississauga-based Hip-Hop and R&B duo comprised of identical twin sisters Kayle and Kayla Allydice. Born to Jamaican parents, the twins were introduced to reggae and dancehall at an early age. Their love for music began with reggae, but it did not solely influence their current sound. At the age of twelve, they began writing and recording music, performing for various charity organizations across the GTA. For 12+ years, they’ve been perfecting their original sound. They were featured on Canada’s Walk of Fame ETALK “Celebrating Greatness” broadcast and took home the grand prize at the 2020 Canada’s Walk of Fame RBC Emerging Musician Program.
