![]() ![]() ![]() It’s been an amazing ride ever since.Ģ019 was the year everything kicked off for King Calaway. All of us moved down to Nashville to try to make this band work and try to make this as our career and our living. Through that we all became a family, sort of, and we all became amazing friends. We all got together in a space in Nashville and tried to see if we could make this work and see if a band could be made of all of us coming together. ![]() I met him when I was studying at Berkley, some people met him here in London and in Los Angeles as well and we all met through those mutual contacts. He was putting together a project and we all had a similar vision of creating this group that was big harmony based, all instrumental, with all of us playing our own instruments and singing as well, creating a sound that was kind of missing from music now that was pretty relevant back in the day. My grandma said she played the accordion and my mom sings in choir and stuff, my dad likes classic rock but other than that that’s pretty much it.Ĭhad: We all kind of came together through our manager Robert Deaton. My mom led worship at a church when I was younger and my dad was in a rock band and he played bass so I saw what they did on stage and I was really drawn to that so I picked up on it.Īustin: My family likes music, I wouldn’t say they’re musicians. My mom's side of the family was definitely big on performing and the arts, I think my great grandmother was a performer on Vaudeville back in the day and whenever we’d get together with our family in Ohio we’d just do massive sing-alongs, and dancing and stuff like that so music was a big part of my growing up in my family.Ĭaleb: Yeah my whole family is pretty musical. Anything creative my family is definitely into it.Ĭhad: Yeah definitely on my mom's side. All my family is either doing plays or instruments or photography or videos. Hello King Calaway!
