The Shady Brothers

The Shady Brothers is a singing and songwriting duo from the Caribbean island of Saint Martin made up of the twin brothers Geraldo and Nicolas Schaede born on 25 April 1996. Shady is an English language transliteration of their family name Schaede. Their debut single "Addicted to Your Love" was released on 19 May 2014 becoming their first charting hit notably in France after touring the country in 2014.

The two brothers were born in Saint Martin to a German father and a Dominican Republic mother and have three other siblings, all their seniors. They started performing various songs, including their own compositions mainly in English from a young age. They also speak Spanish.

In 2013, while just 16, they were discovered by a French music producer when an employee of a Saint Martin hotel he was staying in recommended them and arranged that they sing some of their own songs.

Armed with the video footage, the French producer promoted them in France and invited them for a tour in the country. Their single "Addicted to Your Love" was made available on iTunes and was included in the popular compilation album NRJ Summer Hits Only 2014 and later as an independent single charting in SNEP, the official French Singles Chart.
