Columbus, Ohio's Third Culture Kid is Katie Larson (Vocals, Guitars), Toby French (Guitars, Drums, Vocals) Christian Hinojosa (Guitars, Bass), Eric Trent (Drums), and Josiah Lansford (Piano, Synth, Vocals). Toby, Katie, and Christian started Third Culture Kid in 2021 because we want to make music that speaks to the people in-between.
The international students, who grew up torn between countries, with no place that felt like home. The not-quite-teenagers, not-quite-adults, who can’t wait to get out of the house and make their own way, but are terrified of how to get there.
The gay kids in Church, who get told they can’t both be open about their sexuality, and be a Christian. The kids who grew up with two different families, and neither one quite feels as safe as it should. We were and are those kids, and we want to tell our stories, in all their messy glory.
When you listen to Third Culture Kid, we hope you feel known, because in some way, we all feel stuck in-between. And maybe that’s not such a bad place to be, because it’s in the middle of the mess of being human that we find ourselves.
