Hailing from Utah, The Piano Guys became an Internet sensation by way of their immensely successful series of strikingly original self-made music videos. They’ve made over 35 since joining forces in early 2011 , including their hit video, an innovative 10-handed version of One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.” But it’s the Guys’ highly original blend of classical music with pop that has really been the cause of an Internet phenomenon that has brought them to their major label debut album, The Piano Guys,released on Sony Masterworks on October 2nd, 2012.

In the last few months, The Piano Guys have performed on everywhere from “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” to “The Today Show” and “Katie.”  Their most recent video “Mission Impossible” featuring YouTube violin sensation Lindsey Stirling, continues to build momemtum with over 1.5M views in a month. It finds the band and Stirling in a spy thriller as covert operatives while playing their unique take on this famous musical theme.
