Formation


Metro Station was started by Mason and Trace in 2006 after their mothers introduced them to each other on the set of Hannah Montana, since Mason's brother, Mitchel, and Trace's half-sister, Miley Cyrus, are on Hannah Montana.
Since they both shared musical interests, they decided to use it in the
creation of a band. Shortly thereafter, Cyrus recruited Blake Healy
from Synthetic Joy as a keyboardist, synthesizer, and bassist. While
Mason remained the lead singer and Cyrus the lead guitarist. The trio
together recorded the demo track "Seventeen Forever", which they
released on their MySpaceMusic
website. The track gained the attention of percussionist Anthony
Improgo, who was soon added as the band's drummer. Their popularity on
MySpace Music grew, topping the MySpace Music Unsigned Band's charts.
An intern in Columbia Records'
Walking Eye program discovered the band while looking through the
MySpace Music charts, and they were signed shortly thereafter.
In the July 2007 issue of music magazine Alternative Press, Metro Station was listed as one of the "22 Best Underground Bands (That Likely Won't Stay Underground for Long)".
Metro Station released their self-titled debut studio album
in September 2007, the album had two singles released, "Kelsey" and
"Control" both failed to chart. It wasn't until mid-2008 when the
release of the single "Shake It"
grabbed the band a significant amount of commercial exposure, peaking
in the top-ten of three US charts. The song has peaked at #3 on Hot Digital Songs, #9 in the Pop 100, #10 in the Billboard Hot 100 and also at #20 in the Hot Dance Airplay chart. The success of the song also affected album sales, the album charting nine months later in 2008 at #43 in the Billboard 200, #1 Top Electronic Albums and #2 in the Top Heatseekers.
