Indie Folk Singer-Songwriter Duo; Creators of "Fire Escape" & "I Found You"; YouTube Music Influencers
Imaginary Future Biography
Imaginary Future is the indie folk project of Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Jesse Epstein, who frequently collaborates with musician Kina Grannis. The duo has developed a following through an intimate sound characterized by acoustic guitar, gentle vocals, and harmonies influenced by classic folk acts such as Simon and Garfunkel. Epstein initially performed under the name Imaginary Friend before adopting the Imaginary Future moniker, expanding the project's presence in the independent folk-pop music scene.
Kina Grannis gained national recognition after winning the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest, which led to a recording contract with Interscope Records and a music video broadcast during Super Bowl XLII. She later chose to self-release her debut full-length album, "Stairwells," which appeared on the Billboard 200. Grannis has also been recognized at the MTV O Music Awards and has built a substantial audience on YouTube with original songs and covers, contributing to the digital music landscape.
As Imaginary Future, Epstein released the debut album "Fire Escape," featuring harmonies and backing vocals from Grannis. Their musical partnership has resulted in several albums, including "Sunlight," "Bigger Things"—an album exploring the emotional aspects of starting a family—and "When the Smoke Clears." Collaborative singles such as "I Will Spend My Whole Life Loving You" and "I Knew This Would Be Love" have connected with listeners who appreciate the authenticity and acoustic style of their music.
Imaginary Future and Kina Grannis have continued to release collaborative material, including the album "I Found You" and projects such as "people i like." Their music, rooted in themes of love, vulnerability, and acoustic folk, appeals to a broad audience. Their partnership as both musical collaborators and life partners informs their creative output and resonates with fans of indie folk and singer-songwriter genres.
