Hi everyone! Rachel here. Thanks for taking the time to visit our Imeem page! We are Gloriana and this is how we came to be...
Tom and Mike Gossin hale from Wilmington, North Carolina, where they were able to develop and nurture their love for music starting at a very early age. In 2007 the brothers decided it was time to head to Nashville to pursue their career in music.
I (Rachel Reinert), was born in Sarasota, Florida, attended a performing-arts high school in Santa Ana, CA where a teacher encouraged me to record demos that eventually led to a publishing deal when I was 15. I moved to Nashville where I was approached about joining forces with Tom and Mike on Myspace!
Cheyenne Kimball, of Frisco, TX started performing in the Dallas area at the age of 10 and by age 12 had won a televised national competition called America's Most Talented Kid. Cheyenne proceeded to sign a record deal, release an album, tour nationally, and have a reality show on MTV. At age 17, Cheyenne moved to Nashville where she saw Tom, Mike, and I perform and asked to be a part of the band! From that moment on, Gloriana was formed!!
In February, 2008 we were signed to Emblem Music Group where we were able to hook up with Grammy-winning producer Matt Serletic and have had the opportunity to write with some of Nashville's finest. We feel completely blessed to be able to do what we love while meeting all of our amazing fans along the way! We love you guys! Look for our debut album coming Summer '09 and come see us on the road with Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler on the Fearless Tour where we'll be all summer long!
