They began performing together as backing singers for Aboriginal band Djaambi in 1990 and formed as a trio to perform at Melbourne women's festival Hot Jam Cooking where Ruby Hunter dubbed the 'Tiddas', an Aboriginal word for sisters. Their ARIA award-winning second album, Sing About Life, includes the popular song 'Inanay' which is sung in Yorta Yorta language.
