The Butterfly Effect

Originally from Orlando, Florida, the pop rock band Before You Exit is now based in Los Angeles, California. The group consists of singer-songwriter brothers Connor, Riley, and Toby McDonough. Since the very beginning, the band has worked in their home studio writing and producing their own music. The name Before You Exit originated from their desire to make a difference with their fresh and life inspired original music and throughout their career, they have exemplified their efforts to do just that.

Since their conception, BYE has enjoyed worldwide recognition with several major milestones marking their evolution and success. From beginning in their garage at home to chart topping singles and worldwide touring, the group has come a long way. In 2014, winning the third annual Macy's iHeart Radio Rising Star, campaign resulted in their appearance alongside artists including Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, and One Direction among others, as well as participation in the Thanksgiving Day parade. As a touring band, they've headlined numerous tours and also toured alongside artists such as The Vamps, Olly Murs, and Fifth Harmony. In 2015, they signed to RCA records (Sony – RCA) and co-headlined a European – UK tour with Christina Grimmie, third place winner on season six of the Voice.

A year later they released their innovative and dynamic EP “All the Lights" featuring their popular single “Model". The recording’s release coincided with their now well-known US tour on which they were supported by their dear friend, artist Christina Grimmie who met her demise following a performance in Orlando, last June.  In the aftermath of the 2016 US tour, Connor, Riley, and Toby mourned the loss of their colleague while devoting time to writing in the studio. Thereafter they released “Clouds" written in memory and honor of Christina. The song is structured with a heartfelt melody and deeply reaching lyrics and has been well received by all. It would be six more months until their next live performance.

The tragedy of 2016 proved to the three brothers and their crew, that their most cherished asset continues to be the support they've known from fans around the world. Even before 2016, the group expressed a deep appreciation for their personal relationship with so many fans. Their newest music, including latest single ‘Find Yourself’ released in May of 2017, is deeply inspired by the complex dynamics that come from experiencing a life of such extreme trials. It proves to be evidence of a seasoned trio of brothers in whom convictions have been founded by deeply inspired values and an evolution with the ever-changing world we all find ourselves a part of.
