history
The Cimorelli sisters grew up with their five brothers in El Dorado Hills near Sacramento , California . Her mother, a composer and former choir director, introduced her to music very early on. In 2002 Christina, Katherine, and Lisa made minor appearances in the area. Amy, Lauren and Dani later became part of the group.

In 2007, the five older Cimorelli sisters founded an a cappella group.

A year later, Cimorelli made his debut on the Social 50 charts of Billboard Magazine .
