The Thompson Sisters are a duo American act made up of sisters Tori Dawn Thompson (born October 25, 1993) and Taylor Marie Thompson (born February 24, 1992) both from Santa Maria, California. They are best known for their appearance on reality talent show American Juniors in 2003 and the American version of The Voice in 2011.
In 2003, the sisters appeared on the reality talent show American Juniors to join a pop group of the same name. When the group broke up in 2004, Taylor and Tori started focusing on their own careers.
In 2004, Tori and Taylor helped tsunami victims by raising money for UNICEF by auctioning off their homemade scarves. Most recently, the two held another auction to help Hurricane Katrina victims by auctioning off autographed American Juniors memorabilia.
In 2006, Tori Thompson auditioned for and got a part in a segment for Comedy Central's Blue Collar TV with Jeff Foxworthy and auditioned for the movie remake of When A Stranger Calls, alongside American Idol (season 3) runner-up, Diana DeGarmo, who was auditioning for a different part.[1]
