Jacob and Joshua: Nemesis Rising

Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising is a hot new reality series which follows Curb Records recording artists Jacob and Joshua Miller, identical twin brothers from Montana in the United States, who make up the pop/rock group "Nemesis." Although they’re twins, Jacob & Joshua could not be more different. Joshua is a free spirit, a party boy and exceedingly single, while Jacob is focused, driven and involved in a long-term relationship. As singers the duo harmonise perfectly, with Jacob leaning more toward pop and Joshua a little more toward rock n’ roll.

Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising chronicles the twins’ lives as they attempt to not only make it in the cut-throat music industry but, at the same time, come out publicly as gay. After uprooting themselves from their country home in Montana to move to Los Angeles, the twins find themselves at a critical crossroads, both professionally and personally. They need a hit record or they face being dropped from their label. Breaking new ground in the pop music world, the twins will be marketed as openly gay artists, meaning they have no choice but to come out to their family, friends and fans.

Confronting their family is particularly difficult. Raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses, the decision to come out would mean the church will instruct their parents never to speak with the boys again. The tension between the twins is evident. While Jacob is extremely confident about this decision; Joshua hesitates, considering the potential damaging affects on their career, and the potential devastating loss of their family. In the end, both are united in their determination to rise up above the rest and make it.

Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising offers a fascinating insight as two young men try to make it in the music industry, while proving that living a dream and being true to ones self are not mutually exclusive.

		Jacob Miller Attractive, physically fit, talented and focused would best describe Jacob Miller. Born and raised as Jehovah's Witnesses, he and his identical twin brother Joshua left their small town in Montana just after high school to Nashville with hopes and dreams of fulfilling their musical ambitions. Although neither of their parents have a musical background, the boys quickly fell in love with music as they would listen to their parent's records for endless hours growing up, dissecting the harmonies. Some of Jacob's best memories as a child where when his father would have family and friends gather at the picnic table as he proudly placed his two twin boys on top of it to perform for his guests. On another occasion, while the boys were walking down a two lane country road to the candy store, their uncle drove by in his pickup truck, picked up the boys and drove off to his warehouse so that they could sing for his co-workers. Some may say that Jacob is the driving force behind the pop/rock music group Nemesis; however, it is the incredible dynamic of the two that creates a unique and unforgettable sound.
		Joshua Miller Though Joshua and Jacob Miller are identical twins, they could not be more different. Joshua, the older of the two, is a free spirit who lives life to its fullest, while Jacob is known to proceed with caution, often taking the lead to ensure the two stay focused on their careers. Joshua is an extremely talented musician who has been writing music since high school, though he admits if it was not for Jacob coming out of the closet and deciding to leave their sleepy town in Montana for Nashville, he would still be home milking cows. Joshua loves his music, his adventurous nights out on the town, and although it would seem that he bickers with Jacob non-stop, at the end of the day they are always there for one another as they carve a niche in the cut-throat entertainment industry.
