Capital Cities is an American pop duo from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2008 by Ryan Merchant (vocals, keyboard, guitar) and Sebu Simonian (vocals, keyboard). The two musicians met after Merchant responded to Simonian’s open ad on Craigslist offering his production services. They began jingle-writing together. After three years of successfully composing music for commercials and advertising campaigns, the duo formed Capital Cities.
