- 4. Brothers Sebastian (18),Remington (16), and Emerson (14) have been writing songs before they could ride bicycles. Discovering their passion for music at an early age, the trio has dedicated themselves to writing meaningful songs about life as they see it. Whether it’s songs about a first crush, losing a close friend, disappointment, or the highs and lows of everyday teen life, Kropp Circle writes about the experiences of their generation. “Even though we are young, we have a voice and are lucky we can express the way we feel through our music,” says Sebastian. “The words, music, and the way it is arranged are important to us— people matter and words count.” KroppCircle’smusiciscontinuingtobuildmomentumacrosstheglobe.Theirsongscaughtthe ear of Radio Disney and Kropp Circle was featured on the station’s online competition, N.B.T.— Who We Really Are

- 6. Lead Vocals |Piano | Guitar Remington Welcome to REM world. Remington is considered the genius magician. This quirky lead singer who also likes his quiet, easily comes alive on stage and transforms into your typical front man who belts out his vocals and fires up the audience. As a lyricist, he often literally sees the words—lyrics in the air—when the band is creating new songs. During creative sessions, he is known to disappear, only to reappear later with complete lyrics. Maybe that’s why they call him the magician.
- 7. Sebastian Guitar | Piano| Vocals Sebastian is the natural leader of the band. A perfectionist at heart—precise and persnickety— he has all the makings of a mad scientist. From discovering odd tunings on his guitar to being involved in the operational aspects of Kropp Circle—and in his quest to write the perfect song—Sebastian is a force to be reckoned with—both on the stage and off.
- 8. Emerson Drums | Guitar| Piano | Vocals Emerson is a quiet creator who often seeks out solitude to create melodies on piano or work out new drum beat patterns. Quiet, and introspective, and somewhat of a mischievous jokester, in his spare time he can be found painting, creating architectural sketches, or taking photographs while listening to some of his favorite vinyl records by The Doors, The Who, The Faces, Bob Dylan, and Supertramp.
- 9. With more than11 million hits on MySpace alone—and thousands of daily impressions on radio, internet radio, music websites, and social sites—Kropp Circle is an ever-expanding circle of newfound friends—adding over 500 new fans daily. Fans have already organized street teams to help promote Kropp Circle and Kropp Circle events to their peers.

The trio knows this immutable truth: without the fans, the music is loud, but it is silent. Fans Join the circle and listen!
