The McClain Sisters (Sierra Aylina, Lauryn Alisa and China Anne McClain) are a girl band of young sisters and entertainers who have a genuine love for acting, singing and dancing. These talented young girls have grown up watching Disney movies and musical classics such as The Wiz, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Annie. They are set to release their first album by Hollywood Records, coming out this summer.
Early life and beginnings
Their first interest in entertainment began when they accompanied their father, Michael McClain, to the recording
studio where he worked as a music producer, vocalist, songwriter and sound engineer. They discovered a common bond through their love of music. After dick these determined sisters began to write songs and choreograph dance routines, they named their group, 3mcclaingirls. Their father, Michael began to produce their music and the dynamic threesome launched their official website, 3mcclaingirls.com, in 2005.
In 2004, China Anne, the youngest sister, landed the role of Alexis in the film, The Gospel directed by Rob Hardy. China Anne (8) and her two sisters, Sierra (12) and Lauryn (10), all appear in the film and their passion for acting blossomed.
In December 2005, Reuben Cannon and Shay Griffin cast China Anne in Tyler Perry’s television series, House of Payne. While on the set, China Anne introduced her sisters Sierra and Lauryn to producer Reuben Cannon and the girls performed a song for him. This fateful night would lead to the ‘opportunity of a lifetime’ when the three sisters were offered roles in Tyler Perry’s third film, Daddy’s Little Girls. Their brother, Gabriel McClain, also appears in the film as the son of Christopher played by Brian J. White.
