Harmony has always come very natural to us because we started singing harmony at an early age. We heard a lot of different music growing up.

I thought about what I wanted to do besides playing violin and singing backup in a band. Don't get me wrong, playing and singing in That Dog was really fun, but I wanted to work on other musical projects and sing more. So I started a vocal project, i.e. Imaginaryland.

It's my favorite movie score and because I had such a crush on Christopher Reeve. The music made me love him even more. You know when you hear music in a movie and it makes you fall in love with the characters? That's what happened.

My grandparents on my mom's side played in a mandolin orchestra. So when I hear mandolins, I automatically think of them.
