The Perry siblings began singing as children in Alabama. They
claim Greeneville, Tennessee, as their hometown and currently live
there with the rest of their family. Kimberly was born in 1983,
Reid in 1988, and Neil in 1990. Kimberly Perry sang in her own band
as a teenager with her brothers Neil and Reid working as roadies.
At the ages of 8 and 10 years old, the brothers began performing as
an opening act, the Mobile Music Machines, for Kimberly. Once the
three siblings had united to form The Band Perry, they joined a New
Faces of Country tour in 2005. In 2008, The Band Perry was
discovered by Garth Brooks' manager Bob Doyle, who helped them make
recordings. The recordings were sent to Scott Borchetta, head of
the newly established Republic Nashville label. The band signed to
Republic Nashville in August 2009 and released their debut single
"Hip to My Heart". All three members wrote it with Brett Beavers.
The song peaked at number 20 on the country chart. A self-titled
extended play followed in April. After "Hip to My Heart" fell from
the charts, the group released its second single, "If I Die Young",
which Kimberly wrote single-handedly. "If I Die Young" and "Hip to
My Heart" are included on the band's self-titled debut album,
released on October 12, 2010. The album was produced by Paul Worley
and Nathan Chapman. "If I Die Young" has reached number one on the
country music charts, and number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The
album's third single, "You Lie", written by Brian Henningsen, Aaron
Henningsen, and Clara Henningsen, was released to country radio on
January 18, 2011. It debuted at number 59 on country chart for the
week ending December 25, 2010. The album's fourth single, "All Your
Life", was released to country radio on August 8, 2011.
