Some bands just seem like they were meant to be. They turn heads wherever they go, and make an impact on anyone who hears them. They make hard work look effortless and fun, and opportunities fall into place as a result. Dream On, Dreamer exemplifies that exact idea. With a mashup of nationalities (Marcel is German, Aaron is American and the rest of the band are Australian) and backgrounds, the six members became friends as quickly as they became they became musical companions. They quickly came together as a unit and began making a name for themselves within their home country of Australia. Since then, the story is short and sweet.
