Zainam brings her own flavour of soul to the group with her smooth harmonies. Fashion is also high on Zainam's list and is seen as the trend-setter of the group, shown evidently in her once trademark head goggles.
As the oldest of the Cleopatra siblings, Zainam looks after her baby sisters and makes sure everything is in its place and where it should be.
More recently, Zainam has dabbled in songwriting with her being credited as co-writer on "Come And Get Me" - the girls UK Top 40 hit from last year.

Cleo - "The girl with the voice". What can be said about Cleo? Sexy, talented, fun.

As the lead singer of Cleopatra, she also takes on the role of main songwriter of the group, using past experiences as inspiration for her lyrics. Cleo also has a hand in production and arrangement duties in the bands music and probably has the most powerful and distinctive - not to mention beautiful - voice in R<B and pop music.

Cleopatra Higgins is a name for the future and with such great talent will be around for many many years!

Yonah - the baby of the group. Despite being the age of 16, Yonah has not been able to shake this label. Yonah shot to fame in Cleopatra at the tender age of 13 while most of her friends were just starting high school!
Yonah has leant colour and brightness to the group with her whacky hats and fun outlook on life. And as well as singing strong back up vocals in Cleopatra she has focussed her talents on writing as well. Yonah has co-written many tracks on the girls' forthcoming LP "Steppin' Out".
