Cimorelli is made up of six sisters, Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Amy, Lauren, and Dani.[1] Their singing style is mostly using a capella with occasional instruments. They started posting covers of songs on YouTube, before releasing original songs.[2] As of December 2012, the group has released four Extended Plays (EPs).

Cimorelli became clients of Sugababes manager Sarah Stennett in 2009.[1] In 2010, their youngest sister, Dani joined the band.
