What do you call an acoustic pop group who started performing at a high school assembly, then started their own label, and recorded four CDs before finishing college? The answer is simply "Colors." Russ Dixon, Ryan Merrill, and Brian Tibbets first sang their song "Rain" at an assembly at Davis High School in Kaysville, UT, in 1994.

The inspiration for Colors' music is their love of the music itself. "We are making music because it's what we are passionate about," says Dixon.

One unique facet of their music is that it is wholesome without being too "bubblegum." When asked about the clean quality of their music, Tibbets replied, "I just write about life.
