Pellegrino and Muirhead met at the Manhattan School of Music where they were attending. Pellegrino and Parks had played together in Drumadics, a local busking band. Teaming up in mid-2013, the trio started busking together that August at various stations in the New York City Subway in their self-defined genre - brass house. The band's definition of Brass House is defined as a mix of jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms, funk, EDM and house music. They gained fame when a video of one of their subway performances, recorded by a passer-by at the Union Square station, went viral on YouTube in March 2014. They are known as well for Pellegrino's characteristic dance moves while playing.
