The Spark of Inspiration
Cannons, a trio of talented musicians, found their spark in an unexpected place: a Craigslist advertisement. Michelle Joy, a singer with an angelic voice, posted an ad seeking a band to join, and little did she know, it would change her fate and the course of music for these childhood friends.
A Match Made in Musical Heaven
When Ryan Clapham and Paul Davis heard Michelle's demo, they knew they had found their lead singer. Her voice complemented their music perfectly, and the trio quickly formed a bond, writing songs together online before meeting in person. The chemistry was undeniable, and thus, Cannons was born.
From Craigslist to International Appeal
In just over a decade, Cannons has gone from a Craigslist connection to an international sensation. With over 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify and sold-out shows worldwide, they've proven that their shimmering tunes and theatrical performances have a universal appeal. Their hit song "Fire for You" is a testament to their success, with over 299 million streams and counting.
The Evolution of Sound
Cannons' latest album, "Everything Glows," showcases their sonic progression. Each track is a unique blend of unworldly melodies and funky grooves, growing on listeners with every listen. Michelle's vocals, polished through consistent vocal lessons, add a captivating layer to their sound. The band's retro-inspired production design and tailored vigor from each member create an optimistic and timeless atmosphere.
