“Real talk, I can’t get them out of my head. In fact, why would I want to? Their voices are melodic, harmonic, and hypnotic. And their music is just that catchy and full of heart. Plus they are just so darn charming. With the interplay between the vocal talents of these twins, they’re going to spell double trouble for the world of pop music.” -Max Lawrence, 3rd generation instructor of the NYC Lawrence Vocal Tradition (Lady Gaga, Bon Jovi, Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, Mick Jagger, Bono, Axl Rose, Billy Joel, etc.). - twincityofficial.com
NEW YORK, May 11, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New York City based unsigned pop vocal duo, Twin City, will be debuting their "Like a Rocket" music video at a screening at the Producers Club Theaters in Midtown Manhattan this Friday, May 12th, 2023, and the technology used to create the video is groundbreaking.
After writing the video script, the twin sisters, Anjali and Bhavani Pitti of Twin City, and their manager, Damian Dustin, hired production companies WSPR Creative and Austin Hein Productions to actualize their vision.
Filming at Stellar Studios in Fairfield NJ, the production teams used a combination of LED volume and green screens in order to create real-time in-camera VFX. According to WSPR Creative’s Tyce Hoskins, "We achieved a world-first by using the LED wall as a light source on Twin City with the green screen, resulting in an unparalleled level of realism."
"The use of XR virtual production technology in the ‘Like a Rocket’ music video represents a major step forward in the world of music videos," said Hoskins. "This cutting-edge technology is relatively new and has only been used on a handful of major film and television projects, such as Game of Thrones (House of the Dragon)™ and The Mandalorian™. WSPR Creative is proud to be one of the few companies in the world using this technology for music videos."
Twin City’s "Like a Rocket" music video will be regarded as one of the first truly innovative examples of what is possible by using XR virtual production technology. The premiere screening will run from 7pm to 9pm this Friday, May 12th on the second floor at The Producers Club. Limited free tickets are available at Eventbrite.

Bio
WHO'S THAT?
Twin City is an emerging pop duo from New York City comprised of singer songwriter sisters, Anjali and Bhavani Pitti. The name Twin City reflects the fact that they are indeed twins who started their careers as artists in a city that they love. Though relatively new, they are already gaining significant acclaim and earning praise from notables within the music industry.
THE BUZZ
“Real talk, I can’t get them out of my head. In fact, why would I want to? Their voices are melodic, harmonic, and hypnotic. And their music is just that catchy and full of heart. Plus they are just so darn charming. With the interplay between the vocal talents of these twins, they’re going to spell double trouble for the world of pop music.” -Max Lawrence, 3rd generation instructor of the NYC Lawrence Vocal Tradition (Lady Gaga, Bon Jovi, Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, Mick Jagger, Bono, Axl Rose, Billy Joel, etc.).
THE DIFFERENCE
Twin City’s sound has been described as "velvet dynamite," which is easily recognizable in their signature combination of something that is both smooth and gritty. It's a mixture that fuses with naturally catchy tunes which are written from a place of authenticity. The result is a fearless and fresh offering to today's pop music stage; fearless because the twins always just go for it, and fresh because going for it means that they have a proclivity for tapping into their own creative wells to create something that they're genuinely proud of.
CATEGORICALLY SPEAKING
Genre-wise, it’s an offshoot of electro-pop and synthwave, but with a retro-nostalgic feel and a futuristic edge. The songs are defined by stirring vocals and truly infectious hooks, melodies, riffs, and leads, while organic harmonies drive momentum. Their lyrics are emotionally identifiable and range from playful and witty, to invigorating and empowering; which are spot-on representations of their personalities.
