Cimorelli is now an independent band and reside in Nashville, Tennessee.[4]
As of October 2022,[update] they have released nine extended plays, three full-length albums titled Up at Night, Alive, and Sad Girls Club, a mixtape called Hearts on Fire, and two Christmas compilation albums.
Early life and education
The Cimorelli sisters grew up in a Catholic and home-schooled family consisting of 13 people: their dad, mom, and 5 brothers. Their mom Lynne is a composer, classical pianist, and choir director who taught her children to harmonize, sing, and play the piano.[5][6] All of the sisters have attended community college for at least 1 semester, with the exception of Amy.[7]
Personal life
Financial controversies
Cimorelli has been heavily criticized on social media for offering very expensive fan experiences. These experiences included a private house concert for $25,000, a song recording session for $15,000, a makeover for $3000, being in a YouTube video with Cimorelli for $1500, a songwriting session for $1500, and eating ice-cream with Cimorelli for $1200.[8][9][10] The fan experiences have since been removed from Cimorelli's official website.
In 2017, Christina began offering online life coaching sessions for $125/hour, despite not being certified or licensed in the field. On her website, she provides a disclaimer that she "assumes no responsibility or liability for any consequence resulting directly or indirectly from any action or inaction you take based on any information found on or material linked to on this site".[11]
In 2018, Lynne Cimorelli began promoting and selling essential oils from the multi-level marketing and pyramid scheme company doTerra as an "Independent Wellness Advocate". She states that "essential oils are not mere products... they are a lifestyle!"[12] Katherine mentioned that Lynne "got her entire family really into essential oils".[13]
Catholicism and religion
Cimorelli is born and raised Catholic. They believe their Catholic faith is extremely important to them and it is the driving force behind everything they do.[14] Their religious beliefs influence several aspects of their personal life, such as not using profanity in their music or in everyday life, waiting until marriage, and not using birth control.[15]
On July 9, 2017, Lisa and singer-songwriter Lauren Jauregui got into an argument on Twitter after Jauregui criticized the Catholic Church for its historically homophobic and controversial views. Cimorelli rebutted by stating that not all Catholics have the same views.[16]
Cimorelli supports the pro-life movement and has attended its annual marches. On January 17, 2019, Cimorelli performed at an event with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal to raise awareness of the movement.[17]
Political views and beliefs
In January 2008, Mike Cimorelli donated $2000 to Republican governor Mike Huckabee in support of his campaign in the 2008 United States presidential election.[18] At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cimorelli received backlash on Twitter for his insensitive comments towards the millions of people who have lost their jobs and incomes.[19][20][21]
On November 6, 2012, at 11:28 PM EST, Lisa tweeted "IDWLOTPA", an acronym for "I don't wanna live on this planet anymore", after it was announced that Barack Obama had won against Republican governor Mitt Romney in the 2012 United States presidential election.[22]
When asked which candidate they were voting for in the 2016 United States presidential election, Lauren responded that she was voting for God.[23]
In 2020, Dani revealed she had decided to vote for Joe Biden.
Marriage and parenthood
Six out of the eleven Cimorelli siblings are married (Michael, Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Alex and Dani). Four of the married Cimorelli siblings are parents; Michael has 3 daughters, Christina has a son and a daughter, Katherine has twin boys, and Lisa has a daughter.
Health
Seven out of the eleven Cimorelli siblings, including Katherine, Amy, Lauren and Dani, were born with brachydactyly, a condition which causes their fingers to be abnormally short and crooked.[24]
Amy was diagnosed with Turner syndrome at the age of nine.[25]
Christina was diagnosed with a genetic blood clotting disorder after experiencing a miscarriage in her first pregnancy in 2019.[26]
Lisa was diagnosed with Gestational diabetes in her first pregnancy with her baby girl in 2021.[27]
Katherine was diagnosed with Pre-eclampsia in her first pregnancy with her twin boys in 2021.[28]
