The Imposters started out as a cover band (hence the name) in Northern California, always putting their own twist on songs, but quickly transforming into a deeper more expressive band writing songs about personal life and experiences. Their influences range from Fleetwood Mac Tyler Childers to Katie Pruitt and The Civil Wars.

Their roots come from singing and playing in the church and ventured out into playing for the masses. Kristen, the lead singer, has been singing her entire life with her most influential experiences being an African gospel choir she was a part of in college. "I learned how to sing by ear, how to sing with passion, and how to be true to herself."
