About Cimorelli

Cimorelli covers popular songs and posts them on YouTube. Cimorelli is the band's name because it's the girls' last name. They also have five brothers, who sometimes appear in the girls' videos. The original three members of the group were Christina, Katherine and Lisa.

Their covers and original songs feature their signature harmonies and are more often then not acappella. The solos are split up between the six of them on every song. Harmony parts are assigned according to vocal range and lyrical age-appropriateness. Because the girls do not swear and have many younger fans, they sometimes change the lyrics of a song they are covering to make it more age-appropriate.

History

In 2007, the five oldest girls began Cimorelli as a group, and recorded covers of popular songs and uploaded them to YouTube. In 2010, the family moved to Southern California so they girls could pursue their music career.

In 2008, the girls released their first EP called "Hello There". Each song was written by Christina and Lauren with the vocal harmonies arranged by Lisa. It has never been officially released.

Around August of 2012, Cimorelli teamed up with AT&T for their "Don't Text and Drive" campaign.

Early December 2012, the girls revealed that they had gotten their own VEVO channel and that the Believe It music video would be uploaded to that account on December 11, the same day the Believe It EP came out.^[10]
