# In Stereo (band)

In Stereo was an Australian music group consisting of singer/songwriters Jakob Delgado, Chris Lanzon and Ethan Karpathy. The group were active from 2015 to 2018.
In 2015, In Stereo auditioned for season seven of The X Factor Australia singing "Style" by Taylor Swift. They made it to the top 12 and were mentored by Guy Sebastian. They were eliminated on 20 October. Shortly after they were eliminated, they started a mini web series known as the In Stereo Show which was uploaded to Facebook every Monday.
Karpathy left the group in December 2017 and Lanzon and Delgado announced the end of In Stereo in April 2018. Over four years, In Stereo released three EPs and four singles.
