A Great Big World was formed by current members Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino while they were attending The Steinhardt Music Program at New York University. Both were music business students and Axel is said to have convinced Vaccarino to write a song together. Vaccarino agreed to work with Axel after hearing him sing. They both wrote and performed songs together prior to Axel embarking on a solo career in which he released an independent album featuring songs that were all co-written by Vaccarino
The group went on a national tour and performed as the openers for Ingrid Michaelson Matthew Morrison (Glee) and Five for Fighting. The group re-branded themselves in 2012 which is when they took the official name A Great Big World.
