They added that before being known as Tagoe Sisters, they were just twin sisters who loved to sing and mostly played at weddings and other events at the Calvary Baptist Church located at Kwame Nkrumah Circle at the time.

The sisters detailed that they gained the admiration of Ghanaian media personality Pikus Laryea, who later introduced them to GBC to perform at a program organised by the media station. There, they got their name "Tagoe sisters" after struggling to come up with a name earlier.

"We were asked, what are your names? I replied I am Lydia Tagoe and she is Elizabeth Tagoe. And then he said, you will now be called Tagoe Sisters," said Lydia, revealing how Pikus helped them with their group name.

The sisters added that this happened somewhere in 1979, and they have been grateful to God for how He has miraculously positioned people in their lives to favour them.
