Sierra, Lauryn and China Anne McClain are a trio of young sisters and entertainers who have a genuine love for acting, singing and dancing. These talented young girls have grown up watching Disney movies and musical classics such as The Wiz, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Annie. Their first interest in entertainment began when they accompanied their father, Michael McClain, to the recording studio where he worked as a music producer, vocalist, songwriter and sound engineer. They discovered a common bond through their love of music. After these determined sisters began to write songs and choreograph dance routines, they named their group, 3mcclaingirls. Their father, Michael began to produce their music and the dynamic threesome launched their official website, 3mcclaingirls.com, in 2005.

This fateful night would lead to the ?opportunity of a lifetime' when the three sisters were offered roles in Tyler Perry's third film, Daddy's Little Girls. Their brother, Gabriel McClain (5), also appears in the film as the son of Christopher played by Brian J. White.

Their mother, Shontell McClain became a sitcom writer on the Tyler Perry staff. Since then, the McClain Sisters are comprising ideas for television and film projects, as well as children's books.
