Vika and Linda Bull have been singing together their whole lives: in church with their mother; as iconic members of The Black Sorrows; on their own 1994 double-platinum debut, Vika and Linda; and on number-one albums by Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers and John Farnham.
Their seven studio albums traverse rock, country, gospel, reggae, R&B, soul and blues, as well as their rich Tongan heritage. They've played gigs for Nelson Mandela and the King of Tonga as well as 100,000 fans at the AFL Grand Final; they've been nominated for five ARIA Awards; they were inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame in 2019; and they received the medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2022. They hit 2020 with a bang when their career anthology, 'Akilotoa, topped Australian charts - the first by an Australian female duo to do so. It was quickly followed up by another chart-topper: Sunday (The Gospel According To Iso), their album recorded during 2020 lockdowns. In 2021, with the release of the first Vika and Linda original album in 19 years, The Wait, they have well and truly taken centre stage. No Bull is their first book and will coincide with their new album, Gee Whiz, it's Christmas!.
