Biography

2010–2012: Band formation

Dimagiba and Patrick grew up playing music together in Red Bank, NJ. After watching Andy Tongren perform an acoustic set at a New York City bar, the other members approached him about taking lead vocals in their newly formed band.

Through mutual friends of Andy Tongren, Young Rising Sons were introduced to New York producers Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta. After hearing Tongren’s soulful voice and witnessing the band's incredible chemistry, they immediately signed Young Rising Sons to a production deal with their label Dirty Canvas Music.[2]

The band signed with Interscope Records in 2014. With this, Young Rising Sons released a self-titled four track EP through Dirty Canvas/Interscope Records.[2]
