Homemade have been around since 2002, but it was only in 2006 that the current formation was established. The most valuable asset of Homemade is their constant young and fun spirit; all members are still college students.
Although there are different musical tastes within the band, Homemade always manage to take a song and cover it in a way that satisfies all members, resulting in a unique and “homemade” sound, making it enjoyable by any kind of crowd. Homemade covers everything from Beatles to Michael Jackson to 30 seconds to Mars, and even write original songs hoping that one day an original Homemade album will be made
