Echosmith

Echosmith is an American rock and indie pop band formed in February 2009 from Toluca Lake, Los Angeles. The band is composed of four siblings: Graham, Sydney, Noah, and Jamie Sierota. Echosmith signed to Warner Bros. Records in May 2012.

The group grew up in a musical household playing multiple instruments throughout their childhood. The band says that a range of rock artists including Coldplay, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Smiths, U2, Joy Division, and Fleetwood Mac influenced them while growing up and encouraged them to make music together.

Noah (19) plays bass and sings back-up vocals for the band. The oldest member, Jamie (21), sings and plays guitar.

Echosmith has also released an array of covers of songs such as "I Will Wait" by Mumford and Sons, "Lights" by Ellie Goulding, "Set Fire to the Rain" by Adele, and "Princess of China" by Coldplay and Rihanna. The band is currently managed by producer and songwriter Jeffery David. In April 2013, Echosmith was named one of the "100 Bands You Need To Know" by Alternative Press.
