The twins took music lessons from form 1-4 at Gokomere High School and later recorded at Old International radio. They started off as a trio with their friend, Misheck Chikaka, in a group called ROMIRO. It was short-lived, however, and the twins and Chikaka went their separate ways.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2020-07-24 |title=Roy & Royce |url=https://www.zimlegends.com/2020/07/24/roy-royce/ |access-date=2022-05-26 |website=ZimLegends |language=en-US}}</ref>
