Biography


KSM got its start in 2006 when the original Go-Go's decided to mentor a new all-girl teen rock band with the same creative fire. The girls came up with the name KSM by combining their first-name initials (all K's and S's) and the word "Music." And when it comes to making music, Kate Cabebe, Katie Cecil, Shae Padilla, Sophia Melon, and Shelby Cobra are a five-girl wrecking crew unto themselves. Sure, in songs like "Permission to Party" and "Saturdays Sundays," they sing of the world they know: boys, dating, texting, playing, and partying. Yet they also bring a surprising measure of depth, especially in songs like "Don't Come Crying" and "Every Time You Go.”

They have opened for Demi Lovato, David Archuleta, and Jonas Brothers. In fact, a Jonas Brothers date in Detroit led to MTV Buzzworthy praising KSM's single, “Distracted” adding “We're thinking their LP may well be hyperventilation-worthy in its own right.” That single, which was featured on “Radio Disney Jams 11,” perched in the Radio Disney Top 30 for three months straight.
