Hanson brothers band biography example

The music and entertainment industry are not known for decades-long careers from rock and pop artists. In fact, their legends have codified in the mind of pop culture that few if any artists expect to claim long term success due to the highly competitive landscape and shifting sands of a trend-laden, non-artist friendly business.

This makes the story of HANSON’s 32-year long career, more than 20 of it as an independent artist, all the more rare.

Made up of three brothers, Isaac, Taylor and Zac from Tulsa, Oklahoma, the band broke in the late 90’s at the youthful ages of 16,14, and 11 respectively.

In contrast with the time’s Alternative rock wave exemplified by Nirvana and Pearl Jam, their breakout sunny soulful organic pop was an anomaly. Lead by their infectious 1997 hit “MMMBop” which went to #1 in 27 countries, their debut multi-million selling album Middle Of Nowhere garnered three Grammy nominations.

HANSON became a household name
