Nervo (DJs)
Australian musical sibling duo
Nervo (stylised as NERVO) are an Australian DJ duo comprising twin sisters Olivia and Miriam Nervo (born 18 February 1982). After signing with Sony/ATV Music Publishing at 18 years of age, the sisters pursued careers as songwriting partners. In 2008, they signed with Fredrik Olsson and his Swedish music publishing company Razor Boy Music Publishing, which led to co-writing the Grammy Award-winning single, "When Love Takes Over", performed by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland. They have been producing and releasing their own music under the Nervo name since 2005, and released their debut album Collateral in 2015.
Early life
The Nervo twins were born in Ivanhoe, Melbourne, on the night of 18 February 1982. In 2012, the twins told a reporter that they "almost have the same birthday", but in 2021 they said they share a birthday. Olivia was born first. Their parents were Flaviana Benedetti and Garry Nervo, who had established a dental practice together in 1975 in Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia, north of Melbourne. The Italian-heritage family included older sister Adele and younger brother Morris. Around 1992 the family moved to Ivanhoe, Victoria.
