Kropp Circle
Kropp Circle
Kropp Circle is a super-charged pop-rock band out of Las Vegas and possibly the best new youth band in America. Kropp Circle comprises three over-achieving musical brothers who write their own songs based on their life experiences--and although one could argue that they've lived a short slice of life--their songs prove they are paying attention. With their eyes wide open and their minds engaged, displaying skill and pathos beyond their years, Kropp Circle has a voice, has something to say, and says it with conviction.

Who We Really Are
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."
Kropp Circle's music is continuing to build momentum across the globe. Their songs caught the ear of Radio Disney and Kropp Circle was featured on the station's online competition N.B.T.--Next Big Thing. Disney showcased the songs Feel, about realizing a relationship is ending, and Fade Away, which deals with everyday life experiences. The UK also embraced Kropp Circle as one of the top 3 Finalists in both the Rock and Pop categories of the prestigious The People's Music Awards, where fans and respected industry tastemakers voted for their favorite new bands. The track Who We Really Are was featured in the competition and appealed to a cross-genre spectrum of audiences.
Kropp Circle constantly works on their craft and most nights you'll find them in their studio working on songs for their upcoming debut CD. The brothers are schooled in pop music and count among their varied influences Oasis, Coldplay, Radiohead, Sigur Rós, GooGoo Dolls, and Matchbox Twenty. It's this background in music that brings purpose and seriousness to the songs of this unique, young musical trio.
Remington Kropp (Bio)
Remington
Lead Vocals | Piano | Guitar
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.
Sebastian Kropp (Bio)
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.
Emerson Kropp (Bio)
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.
