About Us

GaleSong is a group of five sisters who enjoy singing together! We started our group in 2007 as a fun hobby to allow us to creatively express ourselves through music. We especially enjoy uplifting, inspiring songs, and hope we can make the world a little better through our melodies.

Each of us have participated in audition choirs at both high school and college levels. We’ve also had some voice lessons and we’re constantly practicing to improve our voices.

First group project: 2007 when we recorded a couple of CD’s as Christmas presents for our friends and family. In 2008, we formalized our group when we auditioned for “America’s Got Talent” in San Diego. (For a complete timeline of important events, please see this post).

We’re not connected with any record label or marketing company. Everything we’ve accomplished to this point has been done and paid for by us, with a lot of help from our wonderful friends and family.

In the summer of 2013 we purchased a keyboard, microphone, sound mixer, and software so that we could produce our own recordings. We also do our own music arrangements, photography, costumes, marketing, editing, videos, social media, and etc., sometimes through trades with friends and always with the encouragement of our amazing family.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our Blog! We appreciate your support.
Sincerely, GaleSong
