Beginning (1998-2000)

Sisters Jonnie and Brookie Allen began creating and performing music at ages 5 and 3, respectively.[7] It was then that they created the group, Jonnie and Brookie, and began performing shows and concerts across the United States.[7] The group's debut album, titled No Snow for Christmas, was released independently in December 2000. Jonnie was 7 years old and Brookie was 5.[8]

Media and touring (2009-present)

In 2009, Jonnie and Brookie entered the Radio Disney N.B.T. (Next Big Thing) competition.[3] During that time, the group was chosen to perform at the Disney Channel Summer at Seas tour.[3] Other performers on the tour were Tiffany Thornton, Mitchel Musso, Debby Ryan, Alyson Stoner, Jason Earles, Jason Dolley, and Nicole Anderson.[9] Sometime later, the group won the N.B.T. (Next Big Thing) competition.

In 2009, the group was chosen to be a featured artist on Trinity Broadcasting Network's iShine KNECT, a Christian tween show hosted by Paige Armstrong.[10] In 2010, after the departure of Jasmine, Jonnie and Brookie performed the show's new theme song, which is still featured today in the show's second season.[10]

In 2011, Jonnie and Brookie continued to expand their fan base through the internet with YouTube. In June 2011, the duo created a new YouTube channel titled "TheJonnieandBrookie" that featured professionally created covers of popular artists such as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Katy Perry.
