American hip hop group
Chrome Cats are an American brother-and-sister hip hop/pop duo, consisting of Jamila Sims (born February 20, 1997) and Korland "KJ" Sims (born May 19, 1994).
Early life.
Korland and Jamila Sims were born and raised in Vallejo, California. They attended both elementary and middle school there. In 2009, the siblings later moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana where they currently reside. They are both of Kenyan American descent as their mother is from Kenya and their father is from Indiana. The siblings got into writing and recording music as a hobby in summer 2006 when their mother suggested it as something they could do to pass time. They had both attended hip hop dance classes and were fond of hip hop music. The duo stated positive vibes in their lives play a big role behind the message of their music, in an interview with radio station WNHT.
