Most recently, the group received 2 gold certifications for ‘Daft Punk’ and cover of Imagine Dragons’ ‘Radioactive’ ft. Lindsey Stirling.
Their latest holiday album – That’s Christmas To Me – sold more than 1.2 million copies in the U. S., becoming one of only four acts to release a platinum album in 2014. Locally the album reached #2 on the Australian iTunes Album Chart. In February 2015, the group received their first GRAMMY® Award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental and A Cappella for their ‘Daft Punk’ medley.
