Atlas Genius members are brothers Keith and Michael Jeffery and Darren Sell on the keyboard.
The two brothers, Keith and Michael, made some room in their home garage and started a band. At first it was supposed to be just an ordinary cover band, but soon they've found their own unique musical theme. It all started after their father used to have a band in high school. The boys grew in a musical environment, dreaming of their own “high school band”.
The name Atlas Genius was originally Michael’s idea and actually came up to him in a dream. In 2009 Darren Sell joins the band and by 2012 Warner Bros. signs the band up, making their dream come true.
In 2013, the band issued their debut album “When It Was Now”. The album actually reached No. 34 on the Billboard 200, which is a huge successes for an anonymous indie rock band. The musical critics started crowning Atlas Genius as one of 2014 biggest musical promises, and I sure want to join that declaration.
Atlas Genius plays just the way I love. With unique electronic beats, and light catchy melodies. Their progress in phenomenal – from the house garage to billboard 200 list – and they totally deserve it.
I just love those kind of stories, about original people, following their dream and making it big. This is also one of the reasons why I like indie music so much. It’s a music world, where you don’t have to be insanely beautiful, thin or sexy. You just have to be talented, great and one of a kind.
And this is exactly what Atlas Genius is about.
Check out the theme song for their debut album “When It Was Now” – I think you’re gonna love it!
