A note from Matt and Andrew Como:
We have been surrounded by music all our lives. Our parents made sure we had lessons and instilled their love of music as part of our household. Our dad and his brothers are all very musical. During family parties throughout our childhood, our uncles would jam in the basement. We loved it when they played together and would join in. This is where we first got a taste of performing. In later teenage years, Matt and Andrew joined their father and their uncle in a Beatles tribute band, playing in local bars across long island. Andrew was George and Matt was John. Soon we started writing songs. We loved playing Beatles music but wanted to play our own music. Once we started writing songs in we started to look at music as a career option. All music, merchandise, and recordings have been funded independently by us through hard work and determination.
