From The961:
These Twins of Lebanese Origins Are Climbing the Ladder of Fame!
The twins are growing a fandom and impressing the judges of this U.S reality TV show.
Ava and Lily Rashed are among 12 families still in the running on the reality TV show America's Most Musical Family. They have gained the respect and recognition of the television and the three celebrity judges and the full support of their Lebanese-Canadian musician father, David Rashed. This is the full story of their journey:
The Rashed family are citizens of Charlottetown, the capital and largest city of the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island, and the county seat of Queens County. P.E.I (Prince Edward Island) is a province of Canada and one of the three Maritime Provinces. It is the smallest province of Canada in both land area and population, but it is the most densely populated.
David Rashed is of Lebanese origins and well known in his country of residence for being a member of the P.E.I. rock band Haywire, a recording band that captured a national audience in the 1980s and '90s. The keyboardist of the band back then, David is now a media producer and a recording studio owner/operator.
One of his studio's work, the David Rashed Productions, is a 2014 documentary about a Lebanese community called the Canadian Lebanese Association of Prince Edward Island. It is a Non-Profit Volunteer Organization established to promote and persevere the Lebanese culture through education and community events.
The documentary talks about the association's purposes and launching the Lebanese families in P.E.I and their journey as immigrants. The Rashed twins were present in this documentary, as they were present in many events held by the association, like the annual Lebanese levee, celebrated on New Year since 57 years ago till now.
Other than being the daughters of a musician, the twins' great grandfather was Charlie Chamberlain, a featured entertainer on Don Messer's Jubilee and a member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
This explains Eva and Lily Rashed's natural talent, being of musical descent; as Eva stated: "It's always been a big part of our lives."
The twins' interest in singing started at the tender age of 2, and they started performing at the age of 10. Ava plays the piano and the guitar, while Lily plays fiddle and guitar.
They are both talented singers and write their own materials. At the age of 13, the duo performed a song of their own writing at a fundraiser at The Guild in Charlottetown.
Also at the age of 13, the girls were a part of an international campaign to fight cyber-bullying. Their song Worth It became the theme song of an app that gives tips on how to deal with cyberbullying.
David Rashed helps his daughters with instrumentation, stage presentation, producing new materials, as well as sharing with them his knowledge of the music industry. They just completed production with their father on a video called Pointless.
David and his wife Sue issued to The Guardian that they never forced a musical inclination on the twins or their siblings, Hannah and Jaron. They added that they are not surprised by Ava and Lily's path of success due to their early and non-stopping passion for creating music and performing.
David added: "Their fanbase is going to go through the roof. That, we know right away... It’s pretty awesome to see them, at 16, doing fundraisers and some big shows. People are taking notice.’’
Now, at 16 years old, the Rashed twins started their competition against 29 other families in the new Nickelodeon show called America's Most Musical Family, which was taped in August in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and is now being aired.
Their dad got to play with them in one of their performances in the show. The twins currently got to the next round and are among the 12 remaining families on the show.
Their performance of the song What If I Never Get Over You by Lady Antebellum got the praise of the judges David Dobrik, Ciara and Debbie Gibson, who said the performance was amazing and reminiscent of Dolly Parton.
The winner of the show airing every Friday on Nickelodeon gets $250,000 and a recording contract with Republic Record. Getting a recording contract would be for Ava and Lily 'a dream coming true'.
How did the twins end up on the show? Well, they posted a video of one of their performances on their Instagram, and two days later the TV studio reached out via a comment posted by a Nickelodeon casting director. The twins first thought the comment was a prank until the director reached out for the girls' mother.
Ava and Lily Rashed are just a few steps away from international exposure. Their musical talent, angelic voices, and fun personalities are a star's factors. It's always amazing discovering a talent of Lebanese origins, and this time we got lucky by discovering two at a time.
We are rooting for the twins to win the competition and fulfill their dream! Watch their great performance on the show in the video [above.]

Redubbed The Harris 3 for the TV appearance, the southwest Florida trio consists of Ashton (14) on drums and backing vocals, Trent (11) on lead vocals, and dad/Jason (Appropriate Age to Have Extensive Tribal Tattoos) on guitar.
But the outfit’s TV debut isn’t just your run-of-the-mill performance: the band whipped out a grindcore cover of Smash Mouth’s “All Star” extra special for the occasion. Have a watch below as the judges look on in bewildered amusements and pre-teens screech for the audience.
Jason tells MetalSucks that Mommy’s lil Monsterz are currently working on the follow up to our debut album, Welcome to the MetalFam. Follow the band on Facebook or their official website for updates.

From Kerrang!:
THIS FAMILY BAND’S DEATH METAL COVER OF SMASH MOUTH’S ALL STAR WILL WARM YOUR HEART
It’s always sweet to see families coming together and supporting one another in their creative endeavors. Even better is when relatives show their love and appreciation of one another through guttural screams and furious blastbeats. Which is why it’s so wonderful that a three-piece band has shown America the true meaning of family by performing a furious death metal cover of Smash Mouth’s All Star on Nickelodeon.
The band in question is The Harris 3, who raged through their cover of Shrek’s favorite outhouse listening on the TV show America’s Most Musical Family. The trio, originally called Mommy’s Lil Monsterz but renamed for the performance, is made up of father Jason Harris on guitar, his 14-year-old son Ashton on drums, and his 11-year-old son Trent on lead vocals. The band blazed through their cover of All Star to the delight and slight befuddlement of the judges.
“I’ve never seen death metal, ever,” said YouTube star David Dobrik, “like, ever. And Trent, I am so glad that you are the one who introduced it to me. Because that was a ride — that was so much fun.”
“No-one has been up here, bringing the style that you just brought,” said Ciara, “so Trent, when you opened up your voice and you went to the low end of your voice — to have that full sound at your age is crazy.”

From Loudwire:
Family Plays Death Metal Cover of Smash Mouth’s ‘All Star’ on TV
Extreme metal occasionally makes its way onto reality television shows centered around musical competition, but Nickelodeon is among the least likely places we expected to see it. One family gave viewers a dose of brutality, performing a death metal cover of Smash Mouth's "All Star" on America's Most Musical Family.
The family power trio, dubbed Harris 3, took the audience and the cast of judges by complete surprise after an introduction by host and 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey. Trent, who is just 11 years old, delivered a shrieking rasp against some lighter instrumentation before 14-year-old drummer Ashton ripped everything wide open with a series of blast beats, which positively overwhelmed everyone watching and certainly made father and guitarist Jason proud.
"I've never seen death metal ever, especially live," confessed judge David Dobrik. Despite being out of his element, Dobrik was definitely moved by the performance and connected with the genre in the same way genuine headbangers do. "I just wanted to start throwing things. I just wanted to go over there and destroy the drum set and jump on the audience," he beamed.
Singer-songwriter Ciara complimented Trent's vocal range and expressed appreciation for the Harris 3's ability to bring something completely different to the competition.
Meanwhile, pop singer Debbie Gibson admitted she's familiar with rock and metal, but never heard anything this heavy. Impressed by Trent's throat-shredding vocals, she asked if there was a warm-up technique in play. Nope, just a couple pre-performance growls to loosen everything up. "I might have to try that," laughed Gibson. Please do, we'd love to see that.
Watch the full clip [above] and hear "All Star" like you've never heard it before.

Watch this family play a Death Metal cover of ‘All Star’ by Smash Mouth
Family power trio Harris 3 took the audience by surprise when they appeared on America’s Most Musical Family to perform a stunning death metal rendition of ‘All Star’ by Smash Mouth.
Oftentimes when there is a television show centred around musical competition, extreme metal seeps in between the cracks, but Nickelodeon has to be the last place we expected to see such a genre appear. One family gave viewers, judges and audience members alike a healthy helping of brutality, with a death metal cover of ‘All Star’ by Smash Mouth on the show America’s Most Musical Family.
The family power trio who go by the name of Harris 3, took the audience and the cast of judges by complete surprise after an introduction by the host and ’98 Degrees’ singer Nick Lachey. Lead singer Trent, who is only 11 years old, delivered a shrieking rasp against some lighter instrumentation before 14-year-old drummer Ashton ripped everything wide open with his incredible drum play. The crowd then presumed to go absolutely wild. No doubt Jason on guitars, the father of the household, was proud as ever of his two boys.
“I’ve never seen death metal ever, especially live,” confessed judge David Dobrik. Despite being out of his element, Dobrik was definitely moved by the performance and connected with the genre in the same way genuine headbangers do. “I just wanted to start throwing things. I just wanted to go over there and destroy the drum set and jump on the audience,” he beamed.
Singer-songwriter and full-time legend Ciara complimented Trent’s vocal range and expressed appreciation for the Harris 3’s ability to bring something completely different to the competition.
Meanwhile, pop singer Debbie Gibson admitted to delving into the genres of rock and metal, but reinstated that she has never heard anything this heavy. She asked if there was a warm-up technique in play behind those incredibly chaotic vocals. Nope, just a couple pre-performance growls to loosen everything up. “I might have to try that,” laughed Gibson.
