X Ambassadors, a multi-platinum trio, was founded by brothers Sam Nelson Harris (vocals, guitar, saxophone, bass) and Casey Harris (piano, keys) during their high school years in Ithaca, New York. The addition of Adam Levin (drums) after their move to Brooklyn solidified the trio’s lineup, paving the way for their remarkable journey of dominating the alternative music charts for over a decade.
Established in 2009, the band’s breakthrough came with the release of their debut album, VHS, in 2015. This Platinum-certified album offers a glimpse into the childhood experiences of Sam and Casey, showcasing hit tracks like “Unsteady” and “Renegades” with over 1.3 billion combined streams on Spotify. The success of VHS propelled the band onto a three-year-long global tour. Subsequent releases include ORION (2019), the Belong EP (2020), The Beautiful Liar (2021), and (Eg) (2023), featuring collaborative singles alongside artists like BRELAND, Teddy Swims, Jac Ross, Medium Build, and PAMÉ.
