Echosmith is a perfect example of how
music has influenced the lives of youth and how if you put your mind to
something and just be who you are, you can accomplish anything. The reason I
say this is because all of the band's members are under the age of 21. And
their youngest member is the drummer, Graham, who is fifteen years old. Sydney
is the lead singer of the band at the age of just seventeen. Noah is eighteen
and plays bass and sings backup vocals for the group. The oldest member Jamie
is twenty one and sings and plays guitar.
I mean, just think about this for a
minute. Their hit single Cool Kids reached
number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 at one point, and reached spot number 1 on
itunes. Again this was all done by practically children and young adults. Just
think about if the whole youth of the world just put their minds to what they
are really passionate about, they can accomplish anything. I mean fifteen years
old!!?? I just recently turned seventeen, and I don't have a quarter of the
talent this Graham kid does! But now, I think back on my life so far and if I
had just kept on with guitar, or piano, or show choir, and just practiced and
really pursued what my dreams were when I was eleven or twelve years old of
becoming a rockstar, or baseball player, or even an artist.
Echosmith is a indie rock/pop band that
formed in February 2009 in Los Angeles. The band, which I haven't even told you
the best part yet, is actually composed of the four members which are brothers
and sister. They signed a record deal with Warner Bros. in 2012, keep in mind
that would been that little Graham would have to be thirteen at that time, wow.
These four siblings have played several instruments throughout their
childhoods. The band has said that a range of musical rock artists like
Coldplay, The Smiths, U2, Joy Division, and Fleetwood Mac influenced them while
growing up to make a band together. I strongly recommend listen to this group
and follow their example and the lesson they have taught everyone.
