About The Twin Sisters^® 2

Karen Mitzo Hilderbrand and Kim Mitzo Thompson are the twins behind Twin Sisters® Digital Media. Starting out with just one album titled “Rap with the Facts—Multiplication,” written for Kim’s third-grade students to help them memorize their facts, Karen and Kim decided to form a record label in 1987. Together they have led their company through thirty years of dynamic changes in the music and publishing industry. Beginning as a record label dedicated to teaching children through music, their discography grew to 3300 songs written, recorded, and fully owned by Twin Sisters.
