Bruno Mars’ sisters take off
Quote:
The new group’s name is short for Love You Like A Sister, and now sisters (from left) Presley, Jaime Kailani, Tahiti and Tiara hope to follow in their famous brother’s footsteps. They’re recording an album and star in a reality show.
Like their famous brother Bruno Mars, sisters Tiara, Tahiti and Presley Hernandez and Jaime Kailani Bayot weren’t just born to sing – they were destined for stardom.
Ranging in age from early 20s to mid-30s, the ladies make up the pop-band The LYLAS, an acronym for “love you like a sister.”
They released their first single, ”Come Back”, and music video last month, and are soon headed to Hollywood for an unscripted docu-series for WE tv, scheduled to air this fall. Cameras will begin to follow them next month as they live and work together on their debut album, while coping with the change in their dynamic relationship as sisters to business partners.
“I think they’re going to laugh,” says Tahiti on what people can expect from the show. “You’ll see sisterhood and that we are a close family.”
“We are four different women who have four different things going on in our lives, but we’re all headed in the same direction toward the same goal,” adds Jaime Kailani. “Me, being that I have a family, I’m juggling having my kids, doing homework, taking them to soccer practice. We’re in different places in our lives, and hopefully we can be inspiring to women.”
Jaime Kailani, who is the oldest of the six siblings (including brother Eric, who is Bruno’s drummer), naturally is the mother of the group, always making sure everyone has eaten and is taken care of. Shortly after graduating from Kaiser High School, she moved to Los Angeles and continues to live there with husband Jesse and their two children, 14-year-old Marley and 7-year-old Jaimo. In 2007, she founded 4 m.a.m.a. earth, a community organization that raises awareness and funds for various causes through art, music and nature-based activities such as concerts, events, classes and retreats. She also was an aesthetician.
“I moved to L.A. for music and school, but then I had a family, so I kind of went backwards – had my family and am now going for my dreams again,” she says. And if she looks familiar, it’s probably because she was one of Hawaii’s top models before moving away, often seen in print ads for popular local companies, including Local Motion, ABC Stores and Cinnamon Girl.
The other three sisters, who all graduated from Roosevelt High School and live with mom Bernadette in Hawaii Kai, say they are ready to leave Hawaii in pursuit of their dream. Tiara, who is the third child of the six, dropped out of the nursing program at UHManoa, and says as much as she liked learning about nursing, she realized that she didn’t want to be one. “Hospitals scare me, and I’ve turned into such a germaphobe because of it,” she says. “And once I started doing (music), I didn’t want to do anything else.” In addition to singing, Tiara also plays the piano and is known as the “bossy” one in the group, or in the words of her sisters, the “drill sergeant and the most assertive.”
Tahiti, who is the second to the youngest of the six, is a single mom of two children, 3-year-old Nyjah Music and 2-year-old Zyah Rhythm. She worked as a manager for a loan company, and is known as the comedian and peacemaker in the group.
Presley, named after Elvis, of course, is the “baby” of the group, or in her words, “the fun … I try to keep it less serious,” she says with a laugh. “And I’m the hair.” She worked as a waitress at Apartment3 when it closed down last year, making it an easy transition to start this new chapter in her life.
Watching the sisters interact during our exclusive sit-down interview at Longhi’s in Ala Moana Center, it’s clear that they are close – comfortably answering questions, finishing sentences and even correcting each other at times.
It’s also revealed that they have their own style, personality, hobbies and even taste in music.
For fashion, Jaime Kailani opts for an earthy and more conservative look; Tahiti likes to show skin and chooses to wear clothes that are sexy; Tiara is the edgy one, preferring studs, spikes and black; and Presley is the urban chick.

I think the older one isn't his real sister, she's a relative but his mother raised her and she lived with them.

Wow. Shocking  But then again that makes sense. I've always wondered why his brother doesn't really look like they could be related
