Having originated in 2016, at a grade school talent show, the band continually compiles and rehearses their library of songs which keeps expanding and evolving.

“I've worked with many bands just starting out and it’s been a long time since I’ve been this impressed! Each member blew me away with their talent, proficiency and level of professionalism. I’ve worked with artists who have been in this business their entire lives and could stand to learn a few things from these teens! If you get the chance to book them, TAKE IT!!!”
