Jenner's mother Linda Thompson remarried in 1991 to composer David Foster. [1] Jenner and his brother Brody have stated that after his father Caitlyn's marriage to Kris, Caitlyn became gradually less present in their life, leading to them to eventually becoming estranged and being raised by their mother and stepfather composer David Foster, who they considered their main paternal figure.

They released two albums, Cronies (2013) and Together (2014). Their song “Showstopper" became the theme song for Jenner's step-sisters' show Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.
