Thirdstory is a trio of singers consisting of Ben Lusher, Richard Saunders and Elliot Skinner. Lusher and Saunders met years ago during a music program in Miami and became friends with Skinner in 2014 after a New York event.

The group began as YouTube content creators, providing covers of various pop songs on their channel. Their first post was a cover of Sam Smith’s I’m Not The Only One in December 2014, which notably caught the attention of Smith’s pianist. After releasing some more covers, Thirdstory garnered enough attention to be asked to open for Tori Kelly’s Unbreakable Tour.

In May 2016, they released a 3 track EP entitled Searching, and in December of that same year, they ended up appearing on SNL with Chance the Rapper. In fact, Chance enjoyed working with Thirdstory so much that, just under a year after the release of their first EP, they announced they would be joining Chance on his 2017 Be Encouraged Tour.
