History
Before the band's foundation, Derek Hough and sister Julianne performed as professional dancers. They and Mark Ballas competed on the ABC television series Dancing with the Stars. Before joining the roster of professional dancers of Dancing With The Stars, Derek Hough and Mark Ballas were living in Great Britain, as was Derek's sister Julianne. The three had previously been members of the musical team 2B1G, whose name stood for "Two Boys, One Girl." After Julianne left this team, Mark and Derek formed another band, which they called Almost Amy, and which also included Sam Marder, Harry Sullivan and Emily Grace. This band was renamed Ballas Hough Band a short while after its members relocated to Los Angeles, California. Although they did not disclose it to their fans, Ballas Hough Band broke up. Mark Ballas has been focusing on his solo career, Emily Grace has been touring with Demi Lovato, Sam Marder has joined Dublin based band Keywest, and Harry Sullivan has been drumming for Westar.
